Re: debian packages of 7.6.112: msg#00044

Subject: Re: debian packages of 7.6.112
I'm beginning to get things in shape, but some questions remain:

- Henrik's debian/rules replaces the precompile.sh and smartlink that
  "make install" installs with versions from the build directory. Why?
  That "smartlink" is a binary executable, so it doesn't fit well in
  an "Architecture: all" package. 

- Does pike7.6-dev have to be "Architecture: all", though?

- Shouldn't GLU and GLUE be in pike7.6-gl?

- A number of modules are left out (Ssleay, Java, Msql, PDF, Ffmpeg,
  Oracle, Gnome, DVB), obviously because the required libraries are
  unavailable in Debian. Can't the build system prevent these modules
  from being built in the first place?

- I think more modules could have split out into separate packages in
  order to keep the dependencies of pike7.6-core down, but changing
  that now is difficult. Maybe it can be done in pike7.7 (pike7.8)?
