These build profiles avoid depending on some shared +libraries at the expense of providing a limited feature set or binary package +set. To learn more about build profiles in general, please refer to + https://wiki.debian.org/BuildProfileSpec + +Profile "noudeb" +---------------- + +Standardized profile: "Inhibit building udebs" + +Profile "stage1" +---------------- + +Avoids most shared library dependencies AND builds only lib* packages. +Intended to break bootstrapping cycles. Will be renamed at a later time, +as its name has been deprecated by the BuildProfileSpec. + +Profile "pkg.util-linux.noverity" +--------------------------------- + +Avoids the libcryptsetup-dev build dependency, at the cost of disabling +dm-verity support. Does not change the binary package set. If this profile +is used in a bootstrap build, src:util-linux should be rebuilt once +libcryptsetup-dev is available without this profile, as the binary packages +are not "fully functional" (= lack dm-verity support). + + -- Chris Hofstaedtler <zeha@debian.org> Sun, 05 Sep 2021 15:11:59 +0000 |
