Package: lintian Severity: wishlist Some packages ship an autotools config.h in /usr/include/foo/config.h
Here is a list of such packages: http://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=config.h&mode=exactfilename&suite=stable&arch=any This can cause problems if one autotools-based package A builds by using a dev package from another package B. Specifically, situations arise where config.h from A and B are both included in the same compiler invocation and warnings are generated about redefinitions of PACKAGE_NAME Here is an example: https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=resiprocate&arch=i386&ver=1.9.0~beta8-5&stamp=1388333982 In file included from dtls_wrapper/DtlsSocket.hxx:2:0, from FlowDtlsSocketContext.hxx:15, from FlowDtlsSocketContext.cxx:14: ../config.h:105:0: warning: "PACKAGE_NAME" redefined [enabled by default] #define PACKAGE_NAME "resiprocate" ^ In file included from /usr/include/srtp/aes.h:49:0, from /usr/include/srtp/prng.h:14, from /usr/include/srtp/crypto_kernel.h:50, from /usr/include/srtp/srtp.h:53, from FlowDtlsSocketContext.hxx:12, from FlowDtlsSocketContext.cxx:14: /usr/include/srtp/config.h:125:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition #define PACKAGE_NAME "" ^ In this case, it is a build of resiprocate, and the dependency package libsrtp0-dev is providing a rogue config.h in /usr/include/srtp/config.h -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
