Package: boost Version: 1.34.1-14 Tags: patch User: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Usertags: origin-ubuntu ubuntu-patch jaunty
Hi folks, I see in the latest version of boost that you're setting CFLAGS=-fno-strict-aliasing directly in debian/rules. This is somewhat suboptimal; first, because there's already a patch in the package (debian/patches/bjam-no-strict-aliasing) to do exactly this, and second, because this clobbers any CFLAGS value that might have been set in the package build environment with the intent that it be picked up by packages (e.g., build hardening flags). The attached patch is used in Ubuntu to ensure bjam uses 'gcc' instead of 'cc' as its compiler, allowing debian/patches/bjam-no-strict-aliasing to take effect without clobbering other build flags. I believe this would be appropriate to apply in Debian as well. Cheers, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
