Source: libabigail
Version: 2.9-2
Tags: patch
User: [email protected]
Usertags: cross-satisfiability
libabigail cannot be cross built from source, because several of its
Build-Depends are not satisfiable. Instead of looking into the problems,
I looked into what could be dropped with ease. I found that doxygen
isn't run during build and that a pile of dependencies is only used for
testing and thus could be marked <!nocheck>. By the power of
reproducible builds, I verified that a nocheck build produces the same
.debs as a regular build given my changes. Please find a patch attached.
