We don't autodetect binary dependencies either (apart from the shared library dependencies, for which it is easy). Why should we do that for source dependencies? I can tell you offhand *without automatic detection*, what is needed to build my packages - and that's something every one of us should be able to do for their own packages. If we have an implementation of source dependencies for the unpack-build time, I'd say we're ready to standardise an interface in the policy. Policy need not mandate the use of source dependencies at this time, but a standardised way of specifying them should be available, so we get experience from real use. -- %%% Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho % [EMAIL PROTECTED] % http://www.iki.fi/gaia/ %%% Good Times are back again! http://www.iki.fi/gaia/zangelding/
