Hi Daniel,
With php7.0 now updated to use tidy-html5 in Ubuntu, I've noticed that
libtidy-dev is pulling in a new dependency on libdmalloc-dev.
A close inspection shows that dmalloc is not actually a requirement of
libtidy-dev; the dmalloc header is included only if one explicitly #defines
DMALLOC in the calling code. libtidy is certainly not linking to / using
dmalloc's implementation at build time.
So to avoid this unnecessary dependency, I've applied the following patch to
drop the Depends: on libdmalloc-dev to a Suggests:. But it's possible that
this package relationship should be dropped altogether.
Either way, it's better to not have a dependency that isn't needed, so for
the Ubuntu case, we have patched this to avoid pulling dmalloc into Ubuntu
main unnecessarily.
Thanks for considering this patch!
