Thank you. As far as I can see, this makes the stage1 build profile obsolete. Would you mind removing any traces of stage1 from the packaging? Anyone who would formerly need stage1 can now use pkg.freetype.nodemos. > I have not yet added Build-Depends: librsvg2-dev <!stage1 > !pkg.freetype.nodemos> to debian/control, as upstream is looking at > supporting other lighter SVG libraries that have a much smaller > dependency chain. >From my point of view, you can add librsvg2-dev at any time provided that it is conditional to pkg.freetype.nodemos. If you happen to use a different SVG library, it may turn out that bootstrap does not need the profile (and instead builds that other library). You may keep this profile even when bootstrap does not use it anymore. Actually, that was the point of deprecating stage1 as a profile: Making profiles useful outside of a bootstrap scope. > I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any concerns. Thanks for reaching out and letting me know what to expect. That makes dealing with eventual fallout much nicer. Helmut
