Hi Adrian, Balint requested that the antlr package drop the separate libantlr-pic.a and the non-PIC libantlr.a currently shipped. This requires a change to debian/rules, and so is sourceful. The discussion is included in this bug report. Also, I would like to get the package out of SVN (in fact, that has been the hold-up on the upload, since the migrate script the Java team normally uses fails to migrate this package - I'm ready to "gbp import-dscs --debsnap antlr" and call it good).
Thank you, tony On Tue, Oct 25, 2016 at 5:51 AM, Adrian Bunk <b...@stusta.de> wrote: > Control: retitle -1 antlr needs PIE binNMU > > A binNMU is sufficient to fix this, and already requested. > > Policy does not permit building normal static libraries with PIC unless > there is a special reason hat has been discussed on debian-devel. > > cu > Adrian > > -- > > "Is there not promise of rain?"
