[Bug 961141] Review Request: debhelper - Helper programs for debian/rules

[bugzilla at redhat.com]

Product: Fedora

--- Comment #20 from Oron Peled <oron at actcom.co.il> ---
Spec URL: http://oron.fedorapeople.org/deb-package/debhelper.spec
SRPM URL:
   http://oron.fedorapeople.org/deb-package/debhelper-9.20120909-1.fc18.src.rpm

* Manual pages (In reply to comment #16):
  - Found a far better solution: install man-pages via dh_installman
  - Luckily, man-pages layout is FHS compliant in both Fedora/Debian
  - The debhelper-mans.lang is generated as before (Fedora specific).

* Dependencies (In reply to comment #19 and comment 18):
  - Build-Requires: dpkg-devel
    # No need for specific version (both dpkg 1.15.x and 1.16.x are OK)

  - Requires: libdpkg-perl
    # No need to specify version, libdpkg-perl was added only at 1.16.x
    # Not a '*-devel' package -- Good.
    # Minor problem: rpmlint complains about 'noarch' debhelper that
      depends on 'lib*' package.

* So what about rpmlint?
  - Basically, rpmlint is wrong: the libdpkg-perl contains only pure perl
    modules (updated bug #648384 so that dpkg.spec correctly marks
    libdpkg-perl is 'noarch')

  - Either we surrender to rpmlint and rename libdpkg-perl. IMO it's a bad
    idea -- better stick to upstream names per Fedora policy.

  - Or we ignore this rpmlint error (maybe file a bug against rpmlint?)

* ... and we are still blocked by bug #648384 -- dpkg too old
