You don't seem to understand the fact that build-time dependencies require only minimal changes to dpkg - and all this to scripts, the dpkg executable need not be changed. I have already produced a patch based on an earlier version of the interface draft. And actually, build-time dependencies are already implemented in the sbuild daemon. > While a change in the Policy's "Documentation" section is much lighter. It's about as light as my build-time dependency proposal. -- %%% Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho % [EMAIL PROTECTED] % http://www.iki.fi/gaia/ %%% "... memory leaks are quite acceptable in many applications ..."
