Source: gettext Version: 0.21-3 Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: cross-satisfiability
gettext participates in dependency loops relevant to architecture bootstrap and already supports some build profiles to support that cause. I've looked into easily droppable dependencies anyhow and found some. For starters, the g++ dependency hampers cross builds and is satisfied in stable. Next, I looked into fastjar, libglib2.0-dev and libncurses-dev. I failed to figure out what these could be used for. I compared a build log of a regular build with one where these are turned into Build-Conflicts. The resulting artifacts did not change as gettext is normally reproducible. I've also compared the build logs and couldn't find any steps or tests that were skipped as a consequence of reducing these dependencies. As such, I think that is quite safe to just drop them. Please consider applying the attached patch. Helmut
