# General packaging help functions
# Packaging process
#
# Executive summary: This class iterates over the functions listed in PACKAGEFUNCS
# Taking D and spliting it up into the packages listed in PACKAGES, placing the
# resulting output in PKGDEST.
#
# There are the following default steps but PACKAGEFUNCS can be extended:
#
# a) perform_packagecopy - Copy D into PKGD
#
# b) package_do_split_locales - Split out the locale files, updates FILES and PACKAGES
#
# c) populate_packages - Split the files in PKGD into separate packages in PKGDEST/<pkgname>
# Also triggers the binary stripping code to put files in -dbg packages.
#
# d) package_do_shlibs - Look at the shared libraries generated and autotmatically add any
# depenedencies found. Also stores the package name so anyone else using this library
# knows which package to depend on.
#
# e) package_do_pkgconfig - Keep track of which packages need and provide which .pc files
#
# f) read_shlibdeps - Reads the stored shlibs information into the metadata
#
# g) package_depchains - Adds automatic dependencies to -dbg and -dev packages
#
# h) emit_pkgdata - saves the packaging data into PKGDATA_DIR for use in later
# packaging steps
