I just verified that this is the case for a new Jessie installation. I haven't found anything in the Wheezy or Jessie release notes. So I assume that backports is not added automatically for updates from Wheezy. > On 07/27/2015 06:49 PM, jre wrote: >> Since Jessie 2 build-dependencies were added to wine-development: >> >> - libxml-simple-perl (is in Jessie) >> >> - khronos-api (missing in Jessie).

Yes, it provides gl.xml and wgl.xml, so that they don't have to be downloaded for a rebuild of the opengl files. Mike specially packaged khronos-api for this, and forced a rebuild of the opengl files since 1.7.41-3. Downloading unverified stuff during a build should definitely not happen. I just don't know yet, if without the forced opengl-rebuild wine would build with not-updated opengl files and if the result would be good. Anyway, preferred option for me is to backport khronos-api, too. Greets jre -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
