*** /tmp/tmp4xCJfQ In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following: * debian/rules: Clean out dependency_libs in la-files per policy 10.2 Dear Maintainer, The attached patch has just been applied to the Ubuntu ganglia 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 ganglia. As long as ganglia 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. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers natty APT policy: (500, 'natty') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.38-7-generic (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash
