  • Not install files in Debian package

    From =?UTF-8?B?UHJldcOfZSwgSGlsbWFy?=@21:1/5 to All on Sat May 6 00:20:01 2023
    Hi all,

    sorry, dumb question: currently a Debian package contains all files it
    find below usr/bin and usr/share.

    hille@sid-amd64:~/t2/texlive-bin/debian$ cat texlive-binaries.install
    usr/bin
    usr/share

    Now I need to move some files to another package. Is there an easy
    method the exclude some files from this package or do I have to compile
    a positive list (which might vary between versions)?

    Thanks,
    Hilmar

    Hi,

    Now I need to move some files to another package. Is there an easy

    a positive list (which might vary between versions)?

    In debian/rules:

    override_dh_auto_install:
    dh_install -ppackage1 -Xexclude1 -Xexclude1
    dh_install

    This first installs into package1, excluding some files, then the second
    call will install into all remaining binary packages.

    In debian/rules:

    Well, errrm. I should have looked into my rules file before. Now I use
    the dirty solution to remove there files before the packages are built:

    rm -f debian/texlive-binaries/usr/bin/*luajit*
    rm -f debian/texlive-binaries/usr/share/man/man*/*luajit*

    Thanks for help anyway!
