wishlist: should ship -dev and plugins packages for rb

[Guillermo Gutiérrez]

I think you should split the actually rhythmbox package into a -dev (includes and libraries, in order to build plugins against it) and one -plugins containing the remaining plugins or maybe one package for each pluggable plugin. In other way, could you include development headers etc. into the rhythmbox package?

Actually I'm working on a liveice plugin for rhythmbox based on xmms-liveice; and this would help me a lot.

thx

Thank you for your bug. All the files installed by upstream "make install" are shipped with the package. What other file do you expect to get installed?

i.e. header files. I want to build a "rhythmbox-liveice" package what Build-Depends on rhythmbox-dev including .h files if is possible.

terrex@belinda:~$ dpkg -L 'rhythmbox' | grep '.h$'
terrex@belinda:~$ dpkg -L 'xtrans-dev' | grep '.h$'
/usr/include/X11/Xtrans/Xtrans.h
/usr/include/X11/Xtrans/Xtransint.h
terrex@belinda:~$

you didn't understand the question. Upstream rhythmbox doesn't install any .h, what .h exactly do you expect to be shipped by the package?
