Package: bmake Version: 20160220-2 Severity: wishlist Hi,
Debian's bmake does not ship with the upstream mk files. One of the most noticeable differences between the two (2) sets is the use of libtool. As it was previously discussed in [1], this situation forces pkg-config files to expose libraries' internal dependencies in Libs (rather than using Libs.private). This means that Debian packages built with bmake causes overlinking. By extension, it is my opinion that it breaks compatibility with other systems' bmake due to the differences between the mk files they ship. Fedora, for example, ships bmake's mk files [2]. By extension, most RPM-based distributions may ship them. Suggested solution: Treat bmake as bmake. Ship it with the upstream mk files rather than the aging NetBSD's [3][4]. Thanks, P.
