Re: [opensuse-buildservice] Missing important debian functionality

So you want some more functionality for the "debtransform" program.
Currently you could just add your control file to the "debian tar" file you already have, e.g. debian-xUbuntu_6.06.tar.gz. Yeap I know, but that means lots of code duplication.
Why's that? You already have those debian-<flavor>.tar.gz files, can't you just add another file to them? Or do you want to get rid of them?
If that's not flexible enough, we would need a way to tell debtransform which files to use and what name the files should get, i.e.
debian-xUbuntu_8.04.control -> debian/control
Yeap that would be great, the debian.tar.gz file would provide the base files for all distros, after that the other files would come from the debtransform.
I don't think it is a good idea to imitate the way the source server selects the dsc file in debtransform, one such selection should be enough. So I'd prefer some way of putting this information in the corresponding dsc file. I do not get your idea here.
Well, you already use "Debtransform-*" in your dsc file. Here are two ideas: 1) allow multiple tar files in "Debtransform-Files-Tar". You could use debian.tar.gz for your base files and debian-<flavor>.tar.gz would just contain some files that need to be different. 2) add some new "Debtransform-Files" tag where you can specify in some syntax which files to take and where to put them.

I want to avoid code duplication, I do not want to have four .tar.gz files with 12 common files inside and one file that is different. It creates a maintenance nightmare, and it's hard for an outsider to understand what is going on.

2) add some new "Debtransform-Files" tag where you can specify in some syntax which files to take and where to put them. This seams too complicated, both for me, and for you guys.
If 1) works I will document it on the wiki, just like I did with all the trick you guys have told me in the past.

It doesn't work right now, but it'll work later today ;-) M. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+help@opensuse.org

What syntax?
I searched the wiki but "debtransform" gave no results.
Hmm, I was pretty sure that it's in the wiki, but I can't find the exat info. But see my mail from 2007 and the discussion: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-buildservice/2007-03/msg00067.html
Is there some "doxygen like" documentation somewhere ? Where can I browse the source code on-line ?
As it's in public svn, use: https://forgesvn1.novell.com/svn/opensuse/trunk/buildservice/src/build/debtr...
