mksh in experimental does that (since Built-Using did not get into Policy before the wheezy freeze), as it provides a statically linked binary. I believe bash-static must also start doing it soon. Nice side-effect: the uploads from auto-builders whose libc or gcc version is not up to date are REJECTed, as the corresponding sources have already vanished from the archive before the first package B-Uing them came in… looking at http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=mksh the only arch whose buildd admin did *not* upgrade their chroots yet is amd64 out of all things… bye, //mirabilos via GMane -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
