Source: tevent Version: 0.9.36-2 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: rebootstrap
I tried cross building tevent and its Build-Depends turn out to be "difficult" to satisfy. So I looked why they exist and was very confused. When building tevent with --disable-python and then comparing the resulting packages using diffoscope, one can see that indeed there is a difference. Surprisingly, that difference is limited to the static libtevent.a. The shared library lacks Python support. Given that you cannot load a static library into a Python interpreter and that static linking is discouraged in Debian, it would seem that the use of Python support in a static library is quite limited. How about removing it by passing --disable-python? The resulting simplification of Build-Depends should bring us closer to cross building tevent. Helmut
