I believe at this point the dpkg-buildflags solution has proven reasonably successful and is being widely deployed. I think we should confirm that the TC agrees with that approach and close out this bug.
I therefore propose the following ballot: A. The Technical Committee agrees with the dpkg-buildflags approach currently in use to enable hardening flags. B. Further discussion. I think the remaining open question is whether there is a desire to list overriding the GCC maintainer and patching GCC to enable the flags for all compilation on the ballot. My guess is that there is not; if anyone disagrees, please speak up and I'll draft a revised ballot including that option. If there is no other feedback, I plan to call for a vote on the above ballot in a few days. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
