Description-en: various packaging tools and scripts for KDE Applications
This package contains a variety of packaging tools and build scripts that may
be very useful when packaging KDE applications. Even if you are a maintainer
of a very small KDE application, this package should be worthwhile checking
out.
.
Main highlights:
- recommended build flags for building packages based on the KDE Platform;
- cdbs class for building packages based on the KDE Platform (kde.mk);
- debhelper build system (--buildsystem=kde) and dh addon (--with kde) for
building packages based on the KDE Platform;
- dh_sameversiondep for generating a dependency that is versioned the same
way as a dependency (coming from the same source) of another reference
package.
- dh_movelibkdeinit for moving libkdeinit4_*.so libraries to private
location;
- dh_sodeps (and sodeps dh addon) for generating so:Depends substvar for -dev
packages based to which local packages lib*.so symlinks point to;
- pkgkde-symbolshelper tool for efficient management of C and C++ symbol
files;
- pkgkde-debs2symbols tool for generating symbol files and symbol file
patches from pre-built binaries in the deb packages;
- pkgkde-getbuildlogs tool for downloading build logs for the specified
package (from buildd.debian.org);
- pkgkde-override-sc-dev-latest tool for overriding Breaks of the
kde-sc-dev-latest package;
- pkgkde-vcs tool for performing common tasks when packaging under VCS.
.
NOTE: since this package is cumulative, it does not depend on the packages it
provides helpers for. I.e. you still need to explicitly build depend on
debhelper or cdbs in your packages.
