[...] Hello Helmut, just to doublecheck that I have the gist of it: You propose to add a pkg.gnupg2.gpgvonly build-profile because - gnupg2 breaks bootstrapping, deps are huge. - You only need gpgv for bootstrapping. - It is beneficial to have a minimal profile instead of of profile that only throws out the most problematic part (tss) because the less required deps the component (gnupg) has the simpler bootstrapping gets. Regarding the patch: Personally I do not like the debian/rules changes. The file alread is Byzantine and this adds another 4 ifdefs. How about changing this to #ifdef normal build #else gpgv-only #endif Proposed diff (for 2.4.7-16) attached. (I have looked over the buildlogs for your variant and this one and did not see a significant difference.) cu Andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
