*** /tmp/tmph0p3sb
In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:
* debian/rules: clean the dependency_libs from .la, per Policy 10.2
The attached patch has just been applied to the Ubuntu libview package, to
null out the dependency_libs field in the libtool .la file being shipped in
the -dev package. This is generally a good idea because it avoids causing
consumers of your library to require other .la files listed here to be
available at build time when they're not actually needed (i.e., in the
dynamic linking common case). It's specifically a good idea right now
because multiarch is imminent, and that means the .la files referenced here
are going to *move* soon, causing build failures for anything using libtool
to build against libview. As long as libview is going to need a rebuild to
fix up the invalid .la references, it would be nice to get rid of them
altogether.
Thanks for considering the patch.
