This is what I expected. However, if —-verify complains, shouldn’t it complain about the symlink, too?
No, I create the symlink in the maintainer scripts: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/libloc/-/blob/master/debian/location.postins... https://salsa.debian.org/debian/libloc/-/blob/master/debian/location.postrm
Yes, I wouldn’t want any discrepancies here and be as consistent as possible.
So, would you be up for submitting a patch for this as well?
Attached.
Ultimately, I am not even sure if there is any point in keeping those build scripts around in our repository. There should only be one set of packages available and if that is part of the distribution already, I do not see any reason why we should have our own set of packages, too.
Agreed, though I will upload the package to Debian unstable from where it will transition to testing to be part of the next Debian version (bookworm). You probably want to provide packages for the older Debian versions, still.
I've uploaded first versions here:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/libloc https://salsa.debian.org/debian/libloc-database
Note that these target Debian unstable and will probably not build on older Debian versions. Testing and comments welcome.
Cheers Jochen
