If you mean build system -wise, there isn't anything that I need, at least if you migrate to autotools which sounds great. This is the debian/rules of the current package, so if you'll have a proper 'make clean' (as suggested already) and a one-pass build then that's pretty much what I'd "need". https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-freeipa/freeipa.git/tree/debian/rules -- t -- Manage your subscription for the Freeipa-devel mailing list: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-devel Contribute to FreeIPA: http://www.freeipa.org/page/Contribute/Code
