Dear all,

I am experience a strange variation when building package from a Git repository
or from the same source with the .git directory deleted.

In the first case I have the Lintian warning 'libhts0: hardening-no-relro
usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libhts.so.0.2.0~rc4-1', but not in the second case.

The only git-dependant code that I found is to create a package version, but
I override it in debian/rules by the Debian package's version.

In Makefile:

    ifneq "$(wildcard .git)" ""
    original_version := $(PACKAGE_VERSION)
    PACKAGE_VERSION := $(shell git describe --always --dirty)

In debian/rules:

    override_dh_auto_build:
        dh_auto_build -- \
          CFLAGS="$$(dpkg-buildflags --get CFLAGS)" \
          CPPFLAGS="-I. -DSAMTOOLS=1 $$(dpkg-buildflags --get CPPFLAGS)" \
          LDFLAGS="$$(dpkg-buildflags --get LDFLAGS)" \
          PACKAGE_VERSION="$(DEB_VERSION)"

    override_dh_auto_install:
        dh_auto_install -- prefix=/usr PACKAGE_VERSION="$(DEB_VERSION)"

(Digression: I do this because after tagging a debian revision, for instance
'debian/0.2.0_rc3-1', the package will fail to build from the Git repository
since the tag becomes used for the soversion of the library, and the slash is
mistaken as a directory separator.  Is there a smart solution to this problem ?)

You can get the source with 'gbp clone https://github.com/Debian/htslib'.  Does
anybody see why the hardening-no-relro is triggered when building in presence
of the .git directory ?

Cheers,
