Packaging graphviz for Debian
-----------------------------
[ New upstream release ]
* Update the list of config scripts if needed.
[ Patches ]
* Patch management: quilt is used, remember to run "autoreconf -vfi" with
automake1.10 installed, so as to produce the appropriate patch, stored as
the last patch of the series, 0_autoreconf_run. One shouldn't forget to
delete autom4te.cache directories before refreshing the patch.
* As of 2.14, there are no longer patches which imply an autoreconf run, so
this patch no longer exists. Anyway, upstream now uses automake1.10.
* The following prefix convention was originally used for patch names:
0 - Debian-specific fix
1 - Backported fix (followed by a 4-digit upstream bug number, if any)
2 - Submitted fix (followed by a 4-digit upstream bug number, if any)
3 - Not-yet submitted fix.
The frontier between 2 and 3 is no longer clear, since there was a lot of
patches sent upstream during the last weeks (may 2007), so 3_* patches
might have already been incorporated into upstream's CVS, and further
patches are likely to be sent upstream as soon as added to the package.
[ Library handling ]
* dh_makeshlibs: the -V option is used to ensure that the versioned-Depends
on libgraphvizN is sufficient, so that one is sure that the config file
update mechanism is present.
[ Plugins & config file ]
* They are/will be named libgraphvizN-*-plugin.
* They are automatically registered by means of dpkg-triggers once installed
into the appropriate directory.
* Care must be taken about the plugin files, they have to be excluded from
the libgraphvizN package (see libgraphvizN.install), that's why the content
of this latter package has to be listed in extenso, and that's why jokers
aren't used for some files (esp. under /usr/lib/graphviz).
* lib/gvc/gvconfig.c:gvconfig() is patched to use "configN" instead of
"config", so as to be able to have several library versions installed at
the same time, which is not possible with a common configuration file.
