I think libevent was at some point used for the thread pool. But that the current thread pool implementation does not use libevent due to performance reason. So it should be safe to remove libevent-dev from the build dependencies. Note that tests/async_queries.c requires libevent. But it is just an example, and it doesn't really need to be packaged. tests/async_queries.c will just not be built if libevent is not available. > - doxygen, texlive-latex-base, ghostscript | gs-gpl Yeah, I always wondered that as well. Maybe something related to generating documentation or similar, that was used at some point? It should be fine to omit it. Additional comments: - libtool (>= 1.4.2-7), automake1.9 I suppose a remnant from pre-5.5 where autotools were used, should be fine to remove. - procps | hurd Seems debian/rules uses /proc to guess a good make -j value, and jemalloc config.guess tries to guess the CPU from it. Neither is a good argument to keep it in build-dep - Kristian. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~maria-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~maria-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
