NAME

d-shlibmove - Move shared library files around in Debian package creation process

SYNOPSIS

d-shlibmove [options] shared-library.so

DESCRIPTION

Call this program in debian/rules as a replacement of dh_movefiles for shared library packages.

It also checks debian/control for validity.

OPTIONS

--movedev [filename] [relative dir-path]
Install file into relative directory path within the -dev package. The dir will be created with install -d and the file will be moved.
--moveshl [filename] [relative dir-path]
Install file into relative directory path within the shared library runtime package. The dir will be created with install -d and the file will be moved.
--movedevdoc [filename]
Install file into the documentation directory of -dev package. The dir will be created with install -d and the file will be moved.
Added in version 0.4
--extralib [shared-library.so]
Install the shared library in the same package as the main shared library.
--commit

By default d-shlibmove runs in a dry-run mode. Add this flag to make the moving actually happen.
--suffix [suffix to add to shared library package]

Add a suffix to shared library package. This is a workaround when binary interface to package changed, and some fixup to Debian packaging needs to be done.
Added in version 0.3
--devsuffix [suffix to add to development package]

Add a suffix to development package. For making incompatible development package.
--shlibs-local [current-version]

Create a debian/shlibs.local file to use, and specify currentversion of shared library package. You need to remove debian/shlibs.local, because this only appends to, not overwrite.
Added in version 0.3
--c102 Add c102 suffix to package names, for C++ ABI transition.

Added in version 0.8
--ldbl Add dbl suffix to package names.

Added in version 0.35
--override [override statement]
Add an overriding sed expression, which looks like --override s/libshared1-dev/libshared-dev/. This expression is executed after the other rules.
Multiple --override can be specified.
Added in version 0.30

EXIT CODE

Return 1 on error.

Return 2 on dry-run.

Return 0 on success.

EXAMPLES

The following is a sample command-line of a hypothetical package installation.

d-shlibmove --commit --movedev "debian/tmp/usr/include/*" usr/include --extralib debian/tmp/usr/lib/libhomeman-pthread.so debian/tmp/usr/lib/libhomeman.so
