Hi,
alfa hardcodes few library as build dependencies: this is problematic
since their SONAMEs could be different (like in the case of libc, whose
SONAME is not always libc.so.6) or bumped in the future.
Because of this, I propose the following changes:
- consolidate "gfortran" and "libgfortran3 (>= 4.6)" into a single
"gfortran (>= 4.6)", as alfa is interested in the fortran compiler
and not really in its shared library
- drop libgomp1, which is an helper library provided by GCC
- turn libc6 into libc-bin, which does the same effect (i.e. require
glibc >= 2.14); note that this could be dropped altogether, since
Debian stable has glibc 2.19.
(Side question: is there any reason at all to require specific versions
of glibc, gfortran, etc? If not, dropping the version constraints may
be a good idea.)
Thanks,
