Yves-Alexis, again the pointless discussion about Waf? Me and some other developers consider Waf as a way saner build system than autotools. Other people do not. Anyway, I don't feel like discussing this again and again. >Diverting from upstream (waf as well as the package using it) already >proved painful, so I think the easiest solution would be to just stop >shipping those packages, sadly That'd be really, really sadly. Did anyone already brought this issue to Waf upstream to see whether they would like to help on this issue, e.g. by adding a command line switch to unpack and repack the waf binary?
