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

d-shlibmove [options] shared-library.so

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

It also checks debian/control for validity.

--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 current-version 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

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"
