"The rationale for using helper scripts in <filename>debian/rules</filename> "
"is that they let maintainers use and share common logic among many "
"packages.  Take for instance the question of installing menu entries: you "
"need to put the file into <filename>/usr/share/menu</filename> (or "
"<filename>/usr/lib/menu</filename> for executable binary menufiles, if this "
"is needed), and add commands to the maintainer scripts to register and "
"unregister the menu entries.  Since this is a very common thing for packages "
"to do, why should each maintainer rewrite all this on their own, sometimes "
"with bugs? Also, supposing the menu directory changed, every package would "
"have to be changed."
msgstr ""
"La justification à l'utilisation de scripts d'assistance dans "
"<filename>debian/rules</filename> est de permettre aux mainteneurs de "
"définir puis utiliser une logique commune pour de nombreux paquets. Si on "
"prend par exemple l'installaiton d'entrées de menu, il est nécessaire de "
"placer le fichier dans <filename>/usr/lib/menu</filename> (ou <filename>/usr/"
"lib/menu</filename> des fichiers de menu exécutables, s'il en existe), puis "
"d'ajouter des commandes aux scripts des mainteneurs pour enregistrer ou "
"désenregistrer les entrées de menu. Comme cette action est commune à de très "
"nombreux paquets, pourquoi faudrait-il que chaque mainteneur ait à réécrire "
"ses propres méthodes pour cela, bogues compris ? De plus, si jamais le "
"répertoire des menus venait à changer, chaque paquet devrait être modifié."

"Helper scripts take care of these issues.  Assuming you comply with the "

"<xref linkend=\"tools\"/> contains a couple of different helpers.  The most "
"common and best (in our opinion) helper system is <systemitem role=\"package"
"\">debhelper</systemitem>.  Previous helper systems, such as <systemitem "
"role=\"package\">debmake</systemitem>, were monolithic: you couldn't pick "
"and choose which part of the helper you found useful, but had to use the "
"helper to do everything.  <systemitem role=\"package\">debhelper</"
"systemitem>, however, is a number of separate little <command>dh_*</command> "
"programs.  For instance, <command>dh_installman</command> installs and "
"compresses man pages, <command>dh_installmenu</command> installs menu files, "
"and so on.  Thus, it offers enough flexibility to be able to use the little "
"helper scripts, where useful, in conjunction with hand-crafted commands in "
"<filename>debian/rules</filename>."
msgstr ""
"<xref linkend=\"tools\"/> contient un certain nombre d'assistants variés. Le "

"<systemitem role=\"package\">debmake</systemitem>, étaient monolithiques ; "
"ils ne permettaient pas de choisir quelle partie de l'assistant serait "
"utile, en obligeant à se servir de l'ensemble de l'assistant. A contrario, "
"<systemitem role=\"package\">debhelper</systemitem> est constitué d'un grand "
"nombre de petits programmes <command>dh_*</command> différents. Par exemple, "
"<command>dh_installman</command> installe et compresse les pages de manuel, "
"<command>dh_installmenu</command> istalle les fichiers de menu, et ainsi de "
"suite. En conséquence, il offre la possibilité d'utiliser certains des "

"A debug package is a package with a name ending in -dbg, that contains "
"additional information that gdb can use.  Since Debian binaries are stripped "
"by default, debugging information, including function names and line "
"numbers, is otherwise not available when running gdb on Debian binaries.  "
"Debug packages allow users who need this additional debugging information to "
"install it, without bloating a regular system with the information."

"It is up to a package's maintainer whether to create a debug package or "
"not.  Maintainers are encouraged to create debug packages for library "
"packages, since this can aid in debugging many programs linked to a "
"library.  In general, debug packages do not need to be added for all "
"programs; doing so would bloat the archive.  But if a maintainer finds that "
"users often need a debugging version of a program, it can be worthwhile to "
"make a debug package for it.  Programs that are core infrastructure, such as "
"apache and the X server are also good candidates for debug packages."

"Some debug packages may contain an entire special debugging build of a "
"library or other binary, but most of them can save space and build time by "
"instead containing separated debugging symbols that gdb can find and load on "
"the fly when debugging a program or library.  The convention in Debian is to "
"keep these symbols in <filename>/usr/lib/debug/<replaceable>path</"
"replaceable></filename>, where <replaceable>path</replaceable> is the path "
"to the executable or library.  For example, debugging symbols for <filename>/"
"usr/bin/foo</filename> go in <filename>/usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/foo</"
"filename>, and debugging symbols for <filename>/usr/lib/libfoo.so.1</"
"filename> go in <filename>/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libfoo.so.1</filename>."

"The debugging symbols can be extracted from an object file using <command> "
