d-shlibmove1

Usage

Overview

Call this program in debian/rules as a replacement of dh_movefiles for shared library packages.

It also checks debian/control for validity.

Options

--movedev [filename] [relative dir-path]

Install file into relative directory path within the -dev package. The dir will be created with install -d and the file will be moved.

--moveshl [filename] [relative dir-path]

Install file into relative directory path within the shared library runtime package. The dir will be created with install -d and the file will be moved.

--movedevdoc [filename]

Install file into the documentation directory of -dev package. The dir will be created with install -d and the file will be moved.

Added in version 0.4

--extralib [shared-library.so]

Install the shared library in the same package as the main shared library.

--multiarch

By default d-shlibmove installs the shared library and any extralibs into /usr/lib. Add this flag to install them into /usr/lib/<architecture-tripplet> instead.

Added in version 0.48

--commit

By default d-shlibmove runs in a dry-run mode. Add this flag to make the moving actually happen.

--suffix [suffix to add to shared library package]

Add a suffix to shared library package. This is a workaround when binary interface to package changed, and some fixup to Debian packaging needs to be done.

Added in version 0.3

--devsuffix [suffix to add to development package]

Add a suffix to development package. For making incompatible development package.

--shlibs-local [current-version]

Create a debian/shlibs.local file to use, and specify current-version of shared library package. You need to remove debian/shlibs.local, because this only appends to, not overwrite.

Added in version 0.3

--devunversioned

Install into unversioned development package.

Added in version 0.42

--ignorelibdep

Suppress shlib dependency. Useful when dynamically resolved e.g. using CDBS.

Examples

The following is a sample command-line of a hypothetical package installation.
