Well, I'll attach my work to the bottom of this message and let you judge it
33
The config.cache I'm trying to generate here is not equivalent to what
34
a configure script outputs. The only values I'm including are those which 1)
35
are no-brainers on any glibc-based platform, 2) are questions we need to force
36
a particular value for regardless of the kernel being built against, or 3) are
37
questions about specific bizarre features of proprietary Unices that we'll
38
always get an answer of 'no' to.
40
I've removed all of the config.cache variables related to headers, or to
41
checks for particular libraries; I think it's pretty safe to assert that glibc
42
provides basic C functions like select(), setenv(), and waitpid() on all our
43
build targets, but I think it's less safe to assert that they'll always be
44
provided by particular header files.
46
So the config.cache won't automatically be updated with answers to new
47
configure tests, but it also doesn't need to in order to be useful. There's
48
really only a handful of variables in there that we /need/ in order to
49
guarantee correctly-built packages, and if you want to leave out everything
50
else, that's perfectly ok too. Everything from the fifth stanza on down is
51
just a build-time speed-up for some of the slower architectures. Well, it
52
also has the fringe benefit that the packages will FAIL to build if someone
53
tries rebuilding for a really bizarre (non-Linux, non-glibc) architecture. I
54
see that as a plus :), you may disagree, but in any case my next trick would
55
be to add a global variable developers can set to bypass the provided
59
It is a little artificial, but the whole point of .debs is to be able to build
60
binaries in a controlled environment. Right now, we don't really have control
61
over what happens in the autobuilders. We have even /less/ control over what
62
happens in a stable release: it's been two weeks now since I built binaries
63
for bug #94380, and they haven't been uploaded to security.d.o yet. I'm
64
guessing they won't be uploaded until Wichert is back from vacation, either --
65
which is fine, but it would be nice if we didn't have to worry about
66
mis-builds by the security team, or about putting the security team to extra
67
trouble after the fact to get packages fixed.
69
With a pre-loaded config.cache, we can ensure that bugs of this kind don't
70
happen in woody. We can take the arm autobuilder problem into our own hands,
71
and not have to worry about quirkiness in the build environment. We can even
72
close bug #109773, since we no longer have to worry about detecting the
76
So to me, it definitely seems worth it. But you're the maintainer, and I
77
won't ask you to put anything in the package that you're not comfortable with.

84
It could be. There are arm packages for 2.2.1a-1, so at /some/ point the
85
autobuilder was able to pass the locking test.
