Debian - netcat build deps #2195
Conversation
[Steffen Möller]
Apparently the former netcat package was renamed to netcat-traditional
(https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/netcat).
The 'netcat' name is a virtual package provided by several:
% apt-cache search --names-only netcat
netcat - TCP/IP swiss army knife -- transitional package
netcat-traditional - TCP/IP swiss army knife
netcat-openbsd - TCP/IP swiss army knife
netcat-traditional-dbgsym - debug symbols for netcat-traditional
netcat-openbsd-dbgsym - debug symbols for netcat-openbsd
%
If we want to pick one of them as the preferred one, I suspect we should
put the wanted one first and the virtual name after this, ie
netcat-traditional | netcat

Done. Thanks for pushing me to push. On a sidenote - did you find where netcat is used during the build process? |

No, did not investigate. Assumed you had and that it is used. Did you
not find it?

I tested build without netcat, only to discover nc is used by several tests, for example tests/linuxcncrsh-tcp/. |
Are we respecting the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck to warrant the <!nocheck> for clarity? https://wiki.debian.org/BuildProfileSpec |
What came to mind was that we could have an RTAI build profile and use that to substitute what debian/configure is addressing today. |

No one implemented this, as far as I know.
