I had to change debian/rules as following, because the clean target of make would fail:

override_dh_auto_install:
        $(MAKE) install

override_dh_auto_test:

override_dh_strip:
        dh_strip --no-automatic-dbgsym

override_dh_auto_clean:
        -$(MAKE) clean

Hi Alex,

Thank you for the review!

For `-$(MAKE) clean`, lintian emits the `debian-rules-ignores-make-clean-error`.
URL: https://lintian.debian.org/tags/debian-rules-ignores-make-clean-error


`$(MAKE) clean` works fine.

Could you please confirm the same?

Alex,

Uploaded another revision #2 with the fix.
Verified it locally as well.
It should work fine now.

Thanks!

Azeem Sajid at Oct. 30, 2025, 11:27 a.m.

Azeem,

You want to devendor zsv (+ds (debian source)), removing libyajl. And build-depend on libyajl-dev.
First upload should be -1 (drop the 2nd line from changelog).

If you need help tell me.

Needs work Alex Myczko at Oct. 30, 2025, 5:08 p.m.

Alex,

Sure, I'll update the changelog.

Regarding libyajl, its official version is not being used.
The official released version of libyajl is 2.1.0.

In zsv, it's being used from this fork https://github.com/liquidaty/yajl.
Looks like devendoring is not needed here.

Let me know how to proceed with this.
Thanks!

Azeem Sajid at Oct. 30, 2025, 6:02 p.m.

we will have to see if this can be fixed and try to use this: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1040044

Needs work Alex Myczko at Oct. 30, 2025, 6:45 p.m.

Just looked at the forks mentioned in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1040044.
They seem to be doing their own thing.

Just to add more context:

The fork https://github.com/liquidaty/yajl is by the `zsv` owner from https://github.com/lloyd/yajl.

zsv        : https://github.com/liquidaty/zsv
yajl (fork): https://github.com/liquidaty/yajl


This fork has specifically been updated to integrate with `zsv`.
See changes: https://github.com/lloyd/yajl/compare/master...liquidaty:yajl:master

`zsv` is bundled with this updated yajl version from the fork.

Azeem Sajid at Oct. 30, 2025, 6:59 p.m.

maybe try to make the lib not public or https://wiki.debian.org/StaticLinking ?

Needs work Alex Myczko at Oct. 30, 2025, 7:03 p.m.

It's already being compiled and linked directly to the binary, not linked as a dynamic library.

Here's the output of `ldd`:

This issue should be resolved somehow:

E: zsv: embedded-library yajl [usr/bin/zsv]

either don't provide zsv-dev at all (or do you know anyone wants/uses this?)

or if you want to provide it, or build it as shared library (.so), with libzsv-dev/libzsv0

or really get yajl package to use this upstream but making sure these still work:
$ apt-cache rdepends libyajl-dev
libyajl-dev
Reverse Depends:
  libraptor2-dev
  libwgdb-dev
  ruby-ffi-yajl
$ apt-cache rdepends libyajl2

Thank you for your feedback, Alex!

IIUC, this error:

  E: zsv: embedded-library yajl [usr/bin/zsv]

means that it is coming from `zsv` and not `zsv-dev`, right?

Regarding providing `zsv-dev`, `zsv` is extensible.
It provides an extension model by static/dynamic libraries.
AFAIK, it is being used to write custom extensions by other devs.

Regarding the shared library:

- yes, it can be built i.e. `zsv-dev` with `libzsv.so`, and
- `zsv` with the static executable.

Would that resolve the above issue?

Azeem Sajid at Oct. 31, 2025, 8:15 a.m.

Correction: "static" => "dynamic"

`zsv` with the dynamic executable
               ^^^^^^^

Azeem Sajid at Oct. 31, 2025, 8:22 a.m.

As suspected, the error is in the `zsv` package, not `zsv-dev`.
I am able to reproduce it on my side.

zsv:

    $ lintian zsv_1.0.1-1_amd64.deb 
    E: zsv: embedded-library yajl [usr/bin/zsv]

    $ echo $?
    2


zsv-dev:

    $ lintian zsv-dev_1.0.1-1_amd64.deb
    $ echo $?
    0

Dropping `zsv-dev` package does not work.

I am working on it.
