NAME¶
pkgkde-override-sc-dev-latest - loosen kde-sc-dev-latest Break restrictions
SYNOPSIS¶
pkgkde-override-sc-dev [-bbase_version]
[-vversion]
DESCRIPTION¶
pkgkde-override-sc-dev-lastest is a helper utility which can be used to
generate a dummy kde-sc-dev-latest package without Breaks field
that is present in the original version. Original kde-sc-dev-latest
package is used to force KDE Software Compilation modules to be built against
the latest version of the KDE Development Platform modules without bumping
versions of a bunch build dependencies for each KDE SC module. However, while
original kde-sc-dev-latest does not cause problems when building in
clean chroots, the restrictions imposed by its Breaks field might be
undesirable on the maintainer system when:
- the maintainer wants to (test)build KDE module version X.Y.A against KDE
Development Platform X.Y.B where (A > B);
- the maintainer builds a new upstream version of the some KDE Development
Platform module on the system that has an old version of some KDE
Development Platform packages installed. For example, even if kdepimlibs
does not build depend on kdebase-workspace-dev, original
kde-sc-dev-latest may prevent kdepimlibs X.Y.A to be built on the
system which has kdebase-workspace X.Y.B (where A > B) installed.
By default, pkgkde-override-sc-dev-latest generates a dummy
kde-sc-dev-latest package in the current working directory that is
based on the current "candidate" version
of the original kde-sc-dev-latest (as per apt-cache policy). You may
specify a base version with the -b option. The resulting dummy
kde-sc-dev-latest override package will have
"
base_version+override" as its version
unless another one is specified with -v option. Once the package is
generated, you can install it like:
# dpkg --install kde-sc-dev_<version>+override_all.deb
OPTIONS¶
- -bbase_version, --basever=base_version
- The version of the original kde-sc-dev-latest package to base an
override package on. It must be available in the APT database on the
system. You may also pass special value
"latest" to select the latest available
version in the APT database. If you specify
"priority", the latest version with the
highest priority will be selection. By default (if this option is not
specified), candidate version is selected
- -vversion, --version=version
- Generate an override package with the specified
"
version+override" rather than default
"base_version+override"
version.
