✨ dh_movelibkdeinit ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the dh_movelibkdeinit manual page 💖 this lil guy lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual, and honestly? it's giving "quiet backstage crew energy" — nobody claps for it, but the show does NOT go on without it. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

dh_movelibkdeinit — the icon that literally just moves libkdeinit4_*.so from public to the private directory. that's it. that's the job. no cap. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

dh_movelibkdeinit [debhelper options]

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

dh_movelibkdeinit is a helper program, and its whole main character moment is: it moves all the installed usr/lib/libkdeinit4_*.so kdeinit "shared" executables out of their public location and into the private subdirectory /usr/lib/kde4/libkdeinit. slay. ✨

why tho? because libkdeinit*.so shared executables are not proper public shared libraries by definition — like, at all 💀 they're only built as shared libraries for performance purposes. so keeping them in public is just... not the vibe. v i b e c h e c k: failed. 🙈

but hold up 🫶 please note that for the moved executables to actually work properly, the following conditions must be met:
  • the package should depend on the kde4libs binary packages built with the "-DLIBKDEINIT_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/lib/kde4/libkdeinit" cmake flag (enabled since kde4libs 4:4.4.0). dh_movelibkdeinit will try to confirm this condition, and it will do nothing if it is not met. like, it just sits there. respectfully. 🧘
  • the source package was built with the "-DENABLE_LIBKDEINIT_RUNPATH=ON" cmake flag. good news bestie: that flag is enabled by default when building using the debhelper kde build system as shipped in the 0.6.2 or later version of the pkg-kde-tools package. so if you're on a recent-ish setup you already ate. 🔥

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -Xitem, --exclude item — do NOT move libkdeinit4_*.so files that contain item anywhere in their filename. you can use this option multiple times to build up a whole lil list of things to exclude, and honestly? stacking them is lowkey satisfying 🍓
