User1: bdrung, slangasek, stgraber: Since you're the only dmb members online, would you mind checking the status of my MOTU application? It's been a week since i sent it and i've got more testimonials since.
User2: User1 not a member of the dmb
User1: sure? https://launchpad.net/~developer-membership-board/+mugshots
User2: User1 yes, quite sure that I am none of those people :)
User1: slangasek, Last time i click on the link you were there. Something in launchpad broke for me
User2: hah
User1: I'm going to guess it's because of the tech board
User2: I'm going to guess it's because of solar flares ;)
User1: :)
User3: good morning
User1: MentalPower|Work, Normally -dbg packages are made only as addons, with dh_strip --dbg-package= and maybe some extra files/links
User4: Why would you want two compile chains?   Like Noskcaj mentioned, compile it once with debug symbols turned on, and use dh_strip --dbg-pkg
User4: The regular package will then be without the debug symbols which get extracted to the mentioned package.
User4: That's the way most packages do it.  Just look at the source package of a random -dbg package.
User5: MentalPower|Work: a library or application?
User5: for application just compile a second time, rename the binary (and its libraries if it has some) and install them in a dbg package
User5: see e.g. python-dbg (conceptionally, don't look at the packaging ;) )
User5: or fftw3
User5: it builds multiple times with different configurations and sticks the results in different packages
User5: packaging should be easier to understand than python, though its also not great
User5: don't know of better examples
User5: MentalPower|Work: in build-arch:
User5: multiple configure make install DESTDIR
User5: the destdir is the important part
User5: moving into packages is then using the --sourcedir argument of dh_install
User5: in binary-arch:
User5: the rest is just cludge because not all variants work on all arches
User5: you hopefully won't need that
User6: When you have two packages with same name but different versions, how do you know which one will be selected by apt-get
User6: I just built a new package for precise that is updated from the ubuntu included version
User6: This is what I see when I do show: http://paste2.org/xnCU2dJD
User5: the one which has a higher version according to dpkg --compare-versions
User5: but apt.preferences are taken into acount for automatic upgrades
User5: User6 ^
User6: User5 ok, that sounds fine then
User6: Now I have one problem, there is one director in the .tar.gz that isn't being included right now
User6: What defines what files get shipped?
User6: I see the .install files
User5: install files and "manual" copies in debian/rules
User5: also .links .manpages etc
