  • Bug#1067764: plank: please move valadoc to Build-Depends-Indep if possi

    From Simon McVittie@21:1/5 to All on Tue Mar 26 13:50:02 2024
    Source: plank
    Version: 0.11.89-4.1
    Severity: wishlist

    valadoc is normally used to build developer-oriented API documentation
    in an Architecture: all package, in this case libplank-dev. It has
    non-trivial dependencies that are part of a cycle, so we had to disable
    it during the 64-bit time_t transition, which means plank has not been recompiled for that transition on armel/armhf until now (although I've
    just uploaded a version of vala with valadoc restored).

    It would simplify cross-compiling, builds on new architectures and big transitions like this one if plank's API documentation was only built
    during Architecture: all builds, similar to what happens for the gtk-doc
    or gi-docgen API documentation in GLib and GTK. That change would require something like this in debian/rules (untested):

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------- built_binaries := $(shell dh_listpackages)

    configure_options := --enable-headless-tests

    ifneq ($(filter %-doc,$(built_binaries)),)
    configure_options += --enable-docs
    else
    configure_options += --disable-docs
    endif

    override_dh_auto_configure:
    dh_auto_configure -- $(configure_options) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This would also make the build on each architecture quicker.

    Thanks,

    Sorry, of course that should have said: in this case libplank-doc.
