Source: libabigail Version: 2.9-2 Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: cross-satisfiability
libabigail cannot be cross built from source, because several of its Build-Depends are not satisfiable. Instead of looking into the problems, I looked into what could be dropped with ease. I found that doxygen isn't run during build and that a pile of dependencies is only used for testing and thus could be marked <!nocheck>. By the power of reproducible builds, I verified that a nocheck build produces the same .debs as a regular build given my changes. Please find a patch attached. Helmut
