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.
