Yes, I'm aware of it. I don't see this as a problem: Bootstrapping new architectures is a big job, and it already includes dealing with a significant number of circular dependencies (specially in toolchain-related packages like this one). Currently it only seems to affect hurd-i386 (which is, well, not surprising). > We should perhaps move it to its own independent package. I think this would be an unnecessary burden. We already have many packages, and we often lack the manpower to keep them up-to-date (e.g. freebsd-manpages or ufsutils). I wouldn't mind having a build flag to make freebsd-config conditional. If you're so inclined, I suggest you check [groff]/debian/README.source for an example on what I mean. -- Robert Millan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
