Is that correct? I wouldn't want to see object files in the source package. I must be able to download your source package to a machine with only Main installed, do 'dpkg-buildpackage', and get a usable deb. There is no reason why doing likewise on a machine with icc installed and CC=icc could not also produce a usable deb given the right debian/rules and makefiles. I _think_ it would also be acceptable for you to build the debs you upload with CC=icc. > At this point my question is only academic; the pure-gcc in main, > icc-prebuilt in contrib solution seems to solve my concerns just as well. Would anyone use the pure-gcc version? -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Elmwood, WI USA
