debian packaging: dropping patches and other improvements
The following discussions from !502 (merged) should be addressed:
-
@pspacek started a discussion: (+1 comment) Oh, I wonder whether we really need to have separate package with the library. I would rather not promote it as a separate library because we do not even try to keep its API stable (at least now).
-
@pspacek started a discussion: (+1 comment) Urgh, what about simpler
rm ...root.hints
somewhere after install call tomake install
? Solution with patch is bound to break more often. -
@pspacek started a discussion: (+1 comment)I would prefer a patch which does not change the text above and just adds sentence about automatic update in Debian.
