-Description: common makesnippets and build scripts for KDE4 related packages
- This package contains makefiles setting the default build arguments for KDE4
- packages.
+Description: 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.
.
- Currently, it contains a few makesnippets, and pkgkde-symbolshelper tool,
- but it will grow larger in the future.
+ 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: if you use cdbs or debhelper, you need to build-depend on those as well,
- as this package is expected to be useful in cases without debhelper or cdbs.
+ 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.
