I'm beginning to get things in shape, but some questions remain:
- Henrik's debian/rules replaces the precompile.sh and smartlink that "make install" installs with versions from the build directory. Why? That "smartlink" is a binary executable, so it doesn't fit well in an "Architecture: all" package.
- Does pike7.6-dev have to be "Architecture: all", though?
- Shouldn't GLU and GLUE be in pike7.6-gl?
- A number of modules are left out (Ssleay, Java, Msql, PDF, Ffmpeg, Oracle, Gnome, DVB), obviously because the required libraries are unavailable in Debian. Can't the build system prevent these modules from being built in the first place?
- I think more modules could have split out into separate packages in order to keep the dependencies of pike7.6-core down, but changing that now is difficult. Maybe it can be done in pike7.7 (pike7.8)?
