I tried moving all the headers to /usr/include/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/openssl/ and rebuilding everything in Ubuntu raring that build-depends on libssl-dev. So far I've had 67 failures out of 428 attempts (there are still a few in progress), mostly foolish configure scripts that try to manually detect the location of the OpenSSL headers rather than letting the compiler work it out. Now, I think these are generally bugs, but this failure rate seems inconveniently high to me; that's a lot of tedious fixing of (probably mostly independent) build system bugs to do. It would be nice not to expose quite so many pre-existing bugs. I'm currently trying the alternative of moving just opensslconf.h. The only things that should break with that are configure scripts (or equivalent) that test for /usr/include/openssl/opensslconf.h directly; I think this is probably rather rarer than configure scripts that test for things like /usr/include/openssl/x509.h. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@ubuntu.com] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
