Package: live-build Version: 4.0.4-1 Certain binary utilities used in live-build could do with a check for existence of their binaries, being done at the Check_defaults() level. This applies particularly to cases where the user configuration can change which binary is used, e.g. for compression, or whether a utility is used at all; where it is inappropriate and unworkable to use live-build package dependencies.
Thus, upon providing a configuration, a check for any such binaries can be done with appropriate errors issued to the user, allowing them to ensure all necessary utilities for their build are available, prior to actually beginning their build process. The list of candidates includes, but is not necessarily limited to: - compression utilities, where various usage options crop up throughout the code, e.g.: - bzip2 | gzip | lzip | xz | none - zcat | bzcat | lzcat - bzip2 + zcat | lzma + zcat - git -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
