  • dh_install -X not excluding any files

    From John Paul Adrian Glaubitz@21:1/5 to All on Tue Sep 14 16:40:02 2021

    Hello!

    I'm currently working on packaging KIWI [1] for Debian where I need to exclude on of the binaries from being installed into /usr/bin.

    I tried using "dh_install -Xkiwicompat" [2] but that doesn't work no matter what
    variation I'm trying, the binary kiwicompat still gets installed into /usr/bin.

    Does anyone have a clue why excluding "kiwicompat" doesn't work?

    Thanks,
    Adrian

    Hello,

    It is not installed by dh_install:
    | dh_auto_install
    | [...]
    | running install_scripts
    | Installing kiwi-ng script to /dev/shm/KIW/kiwi-debian/debian/kiwi/usr/bin
    | Installing kiwicompat script to /dev/shm/KIW/kiwi-debian/debian/kiwi/usr/bin | make[1]: Leaving directory '/dev/shm/KIW/kiwi-debian'
    | debian/rules override_dh_install
    | make[1]: Entering directory '/dev/shm/KIW/kiwi-debian'
    | dh_install -Xkiwicompat

    Since there is only a single binary package dh_auto_install installs
    directly to debian/kiwi/
    (sid)ametzler@argenau:/dev/shm/KIW/kiwi-debian$ dh_auto_install --no-act --verbo
    se
    make -j1 install DESTDIR=/dev/shm/KIW/kiwi-debian/debian/kiwi AM_UPDATE_INFO_DIR=no "INSTALL=install --strip-program=true"

    Since you are already overriding dh_auto_install you could simply rm the offending file there.

    cu Andreas

    You mean installed in debian/tmp during build or in the final package?
    I think that adding a debian/not-installed with usr/bin/kiwicompat
    would do the trick?

    Thanks for the hint but unfortunately that doesn't work and according to
    the manpage of dh_missing it cannot work as this file is not intended
    for excluding files. [1]

    I guess, I just have to delete the files manually.
