Hi Thomas and Alex,
Thomas, Alex asked the following on the ubuntu-motu list[1], so I thought it
would be best to forward it to you:

Hi, I'm developing some code with libsyck but I'm using C++, one issue with
the way that the package is built is that one cannot throw a c++ exception
in the syck error handlers and recover in the c++ code.
Basically what happens is that if you throw an exception in the error
handler (which is called by C code) you cannot catch it in a c++ try{}
block, and so your application will terminate.
If libsyck is built with -fexceptions then this problem is solved [and it
only adds 5k to the size of the binary].
I'm wondering if it might be a good idea to build the package with this
option?

Alex, Thomas is the debian maintainer for syck, which is synced w.o.
modification to ubuntu as of right now. As I don't have experience with the
syck library, I think the sanest choice for Ubuntu is to follow debian
packaging in this regard.
Cheers,
Stefan.
