Testing the changes

  • I tested the changes in this PR: YES (also using ./xbps-src pkg -Q)

New package

Local build testing

  • I built this PR locally for my native architecture, x86_64-glibc

Other notes

I doubt the underlying third party script xdeb works for musl, since most DEB packages are built for glibc as far as I'm aware. I could add support for more host architectures in the future, but that wasn't a priority for the first release of xdeb-install.

See https://github.com/toluschr/xdeb, https://github.com/thetredev/xdeb-install and https://github.com/thetredev/xdeb-install-repositories for more details.

We generally suggest against using xdeb, I don't think we should include it in the repository.

I agree with duncaen but additionally, this would not accepted as-is because it's using prebuilt binaries

@Duncaen May I ask why using xdeb is discouraged?

@classabbyamp What's wrong with prebuilts? :)

The packages tend to break users systems, i.e. they replaced symlinks of usr/sbin breaking some users installations. Its bad practice in general to install other distributions packages onto another distribution.

@Duncaen I see, makes sense. Thanks.
