Source: tigervnc Version: 1.7.0+dfsg-6~bpo8+1 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
while building a local backport of tigervnc to jessie, I noticed that some of the build dependencies were too lax. At least the following are now required: === Begin === x11proto-core-dev (>= 7.0.31), x11proto-randr-dev (>= 1.5.0), xtrans-dev (>= 1.3.5), libxfont-dev (>= 1:2.0.1), libtool (>= 2.4.6-2), === End === Also debian/gbp.conf doesn't set the compression method for the upstream tarball, so git-buildpackage fails with a less than perfect error message by default. Adding the following line to debian/gbp.conf helped: === Begin === compression = xz === End === Sascha -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.7 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (100, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.8.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
