To clarify: not every package will be affected by this because not every package is going to use the libc time_t functions. But enough will that I think the better path forward is to enable -Werror=implicit-function-declaration across the board and fix any build failures, which makes for better code in the long run anyway, than to enable this by hand only for affected libraries and then have to deal with a bunch of runtime bugs. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
