Package: equivs Version: 2.0.7-0.1 Severity: wishlist Recent devscripts has taken to expressing the things it might need as full dependencies, and with equivs using it you end up with some 30Mb dragged in to create an equiv package. (Albeit 25Mb of which is debian-keyring.)
I wonder if equivs only needs debuild sometimes it could just recommend devscripts, or if debuild is only a shorthand for three dpkg-dev commands perhaps equivs-build could do those things directly. (devscripts may well be justified in asking for pretty much a full developer system setup, but I'd think equivs can be useful on a kind of half-devel system so would be nice to keep its depends down a little.) -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i586) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-486 Locale: LANG=en_AU, LC_CTYPE=en_AU (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages equivs depends on: ii debhelper 6.0.11 helper programs for debian/rules pi devscripts 2.10.20 scripts to make the life of a Debi ii dpkg-dev 1.14.18 package building tools for Debian ii fakeroot 1.9.4 Gives a fake root environment ii make 3.81-4 The GNU version of the "make" util ii perl 5.8.8-12 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction equivs recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
