Bug Description
Hi,
I’m upstream and Debian Developer of mksh, and working on dietlibc with
Héctor. We’ve just sync’d dietlibc from Debian, but ARM still has issues,
and dietlibc-dev is an “optional build dependency” of mksh, i.e. it uses
it if it’s there, and eglibc if not, for /bin/mksh-static creation.
The attached debdiff removes the debian/control build dependency on
dietlibc-dev on all ARM platforms, so mksh can be released for ARM
with oneiric, which is sensible since it’s a pretty compact yet still
fast shell.
I’m hereby asking for a Freeze Exception and upload sponsorship.
(You can keep the maintainer field and not set it to MOTU, as
I’m the original maintainer and follow Launchpad as well.)
