We likely have to postpone the changes for dpkg to the next release cycle as we need to prioritize work on coreutils over the visuals of our build logs and ease of disabling these options (which so far nobody has asked for).
The former would have been easy and is what I had planned for, but doko specifically requested the ability to also disable these flags via build options and that requires significantly more effort. The next steps here are to come up with flag names and propose them to debian-dpkg and get a consensus before moving forward with implementing them. The initial patch can be found in https://git.launchpad.net/~juliank/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/commit/?id=3ebdfb178dd9498c34a1095e5cbe474b0faf6d4e but my conversation with doko suggests these need to move to Debian.pm or some more stuff is needed there to register the flags (hence why it needs coordinating). Also without coordination it would only be usable in Ubuntu deltas, which would incur more overhead if anyone actually used the option. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2108968 Title: Enable -fzero-init-padding-bits=all, -Wbidi-chars=any To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/2108968/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
