This conversation covered the +issue although it should probably be looked at again. + +(26/05/12 16:24:18) SpamapS: periapt: hey, are you 100% sure that mysql-source-5.5 is arch: all ? +(16:24:37) SpamapS: periapt: It includes generated files.. some of which might be arch specific. I've never taken the time to make sure. +(16:35:56) periapt: SpamapS: Actually that's a fair point - cmake output. But then I think we ought to drop it. I view it as duplication which I think is against Debian policy. +(16:44:04) periapt: It seems to be some sort of hangover from when the licensing issues were much worse. It's popcorn rating is almost lower than the arches we support. +(16:49:27) SpamapS: Nope, its needed for plugins +(16:49:39) SpamapS: It is only useful as a build-dep +(16:49:57) SpamapS: Now, I have been made aware of the fact that source format 3.0 allows multiple upstreams.. +(16:50:24) SpamapS: periapt: I created the package, and I use it as a build-dep for handlersocket. +(16:50:54) SpamapS: periapt: perhaps we should add handlersocket as a second upstream source. That would eliminate the need for it. +(16:55:21) periapt: SpamapS: I would advise against multiple upstream sources. I actually tried to write some debhelper stuff to maange it. I never got the uscan wrapper working and it's horrible: pkg-components. +(16:56:23) SpamapS: periapt: then we cannot remove the mysql-source-* packages +(16:56:57) periapt: I'll put it back to arch:any for now and update the long description. I notice there are already bugs that cover the issue of how to manage plugins. I think it should be revisited. +(16:57:30) SpamapS: periapt: perhaps the clarity from this discussion belongs in README.source too :) +(16:57:40) periapt: okay +(16:58:15) periapt: Actually I would prefer the FAQ: http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/MySQL/FAQ |
