| Nico Golde 2004-08-08, 5:51 pm |
| Hi,
i package tpp a text presentation program and i have one problem.
i use dh_installexamples examples/* to install examples presentation
files in /usr/share/doc/tpp/examples. it install all files very well,
but one of the file become zipped with gzip during the installation.
all other examples arent zipped.
i have no idea why and i found no gzip method in the dh_installexamples
source code.
can anyone give me a hint?
you find the package on http://nico.f-451.net/debian/tpp
regards nico

Is there life after /sbin/halt -p?

| Compression is the result of dh_compress.

| Hi Nico,
are you calling dh_compress later on in debian/rules?
From the man page:
| By default, dh_compress compresses files that debian policy mandates
| should be compressed, namely all files in usr/share/info,
| usr/share/man, usr/X11R6/man, files in usr/share/doc that are larger
| than 4k in size, (except the copy-right file, .html and .css files,
| and files that appear to be already compressed based on their
| extensions), and all changelog files. Plus PCF fonts underneath
| usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/
Cheers, Til

As already mentioned, dh_compress is responsible for this and only compresses
files if they are larger than 4kB.

dh_installexamples has nothing to do with gzip.
You're probably using dh_compress, and it gzips files if they're over 4kB.
You can simply exclude some files from being maintained by dh_compress with
-X switch.
