I think it would be better send all our upstreams patches for their build systems than to work around all the bugs in them. Lets be honest here, IIRC any use of --as-needed is a workaround for over-inflated DT_NEEDED and fixing those upstream benefits the wider free software community, which we pledged in Social Contract item 2. Of course there are some upstreams where the issues present will unlikely to ever be fixed so --as-needed may be appropriate there. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
