Hello all,
I have a question regarding the generation of multiple packages from one
source, I can't find anything about that in the packaging guidelines.
I'm looking at packaging Motion [1] (which will probably end up in RPM
Fusion, but it doesn't change my problem), but it can be compiled with
several options people may want to use, like mysql or postgresql
support. The problem is that you can't divide it into sub-packages, at
the end it generates one big binary file.
What should I do from here? Chose the options I care about and push the
package that way? Propose 2 different packages? Anything else?
I don't know this specific package, but the standard answer templates to
questions like this already had been contained in your questions:
- Split the package into sub-packages.
- Build several packages from the same source-code.
Another alternative would be to
- Artificially restrict your package to a subset of build
alternatives/configurations (i.e. restrict yourselves to one of the
databases)
You can find cases for all these approaches in Fedora.
