Package: ncurses Version: 5.7+20100313-2 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch User: ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com Usertags: origin-ubuntu maverick ubuntu-patch
Hi Craig, Sven, The Ubuntu ncurses package is carrying a patch to export LDFLAGS in debian/rules, in order to get ncurses built with -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions. Since it's of general use to be able to pass extra linker flags to packages when building, I would suggest including this patch in Debian as well. Attached is the trivial patch for this. Cheers, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
