cargo-deb fails trying to strip unknown file formats

[Razican]

Hello,

I'm running cargo-deb in the SUPERAndroidAnalyzer/super repository, and I get the following error with three files, all of them command line completions:

strip:/home/razican/workspace/super/super/target/release/super.bash: File format not recognized
cargo-deb: Command strip failed to launch
  because: exit code: 1

The affected files are the following:

• super.bash
• super.fish
• _super

How did this file get there?

[Razican]

They get generated in the build.rs build script. I guess it's good practice to generate the completions in the target directory, right?

Ideally, they should go to OUT_DIR, but there is no easy way to package those files in the cargo deb command.

[kornelski]

Indeed. Hmm, so cargo-deb needs a good way to distinguish between executables and other executable assets put in the target directory.

I could limit stripping only to native rust targets. Then stripping of everything else specified in package.metadata.deb.assets would be left up to build scripts...

[Razican]

That would be great, yes.

Hi @kornelski! Is there any news on this front?

[kornelski]

I haven't got time to implement this. Could you have a look yourself?

There's alredy built_binaries() method that should be plugged in.

[Razican]

OK, I will try to give it a look when I get some free time.

[Razican]

Hi, I just tried this again and it seems fixed. Is this the case?
