Source: libidn2 Version: 2.0.4-1.1 Tags: patch User: helm...@debian.org Usertags: rebootstrap Hi libidn2 maintainers, I'd like to ask you for another favour. Can we remove the whole gtkdoc stack from Build-Depends? e.g. dblatex is presently unsatisfiable for cross and it won't be any easier for native bootstraps. The good thing is that we can do entirely without build profiles. Just move the whole caboodle to Build-Depends-Indep! Of course we must be careful then. We must configure without --enable-gtk-doc and notably, we must not run gtkdocize. The attached patch does all of that and thus speeds up arch-only builds. Please consider applying it.
I built with this patch applied and it passes the test suite correctly. It would be nice to be able to build this package without texlive or dblatex, which are heavyweights for architectures which are bootstrapping. It's a great patch in its own right IMO (thanks Helmut!), since moving to -Indep has multiple benefits, for example having to download and install less packages in the buildds. Cheers. -- Manuel A.
