Source: neat Version: 2.0-1 Severity: important Tags: patch Hi,
near hardcodes few library as build dependencies: this is problematic since their SONAMEs could be different (like in the case of libc, whose SONAME is not always libc.so.6) or bumped in the future. Because of this, I propose the following changes: - consolidate "gfortran" and "libgfortran3 (>= 4.6)" into a single "gfortran (>= 4:4.6)", as near is interested in the fortran compiler and not really in its shared library - turn libc6 into libc-bin, which does the same effect (i.e. require glibc >= 2.14); note that this could be dropped altogether, since Debian stable has glibc 2.19. (Side question: is there any reason at all to require specific versions of glibc and gfortran? If not, dropping the version constraints may be a good idea.) Thanks, -- Pino
