Package: kmod Version: 9-2 Severity: normal Tags: patch User: crossbu...@debian.org Usertags: cross
kmod build-depends on perl, but perl is not used directly anywhere in the kmod source package. The build-dependency makes it difficult to cross-build kmod in a multiarch-cross setup, which impedes bootstrapping new ports such as arm64 since kmod is of course in the base system. If the build-dependency is removed, then kmod cross-builds cleanly and automatically. * Drop unused build-dependency on perl, to simplify cross-building. diff -Nru kmod-9/debian/control kmod-9/debian/control --- kmod-9/debian/control 2012-06-25 02:03:52.000000000 +0100 +++ kmod-9/debian/control 2013-01-09 10:40:55.000000000 +0000 @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ Section: admin Priority: important Maintainer: Marco d'Itri <m...@linux.it> -Build-Depends: debhelper (>> 8.1.3), perl +Build-Depends: debhelper (>> 8.1.3) Standards-Version: 3.9.3.1 Package: kmod Thanks, -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@ubuntu.com] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
