reassign 481924 ftp.debian.org tags 481924 - pending thanks (I would have liked to CC buildd admins on this mail, but have not done so as it seems there is no single address for that. CC'ing all arch@buildd.d.o seems inappropriate. If someone knows a mail address for them, feel free to bounce or forward.)

After some more thought it seems more logical to maintain which packages should be installed on a buildd in one location, so I've reverted the change to debootstrap. Current build-essential overrides file is: merkel:/org/ftp.debian.org/scripts/external-overrides$ cat build-essential apt Build-Essential yes binutils Build-Essential yes cpio Build-Essential yes cpp Build-Essential yes dpkg-dev Build-Essential yes g++ Build-Essential yes gcc Build-Essential yes libc0.3-dev Build-Essential yes libc6-dev Build-Essential yes libc6.1-dev Build-Essential yes linux-kernel-headers Build-Essential yes make Build-Essential yes patch Build-Essential yes perl Build-Essential yes perl-modules Build-Essential yes There seems to be some overlap between this list and the build-essential package, which has: Depends: libc6-dev | libc-dev, gcc (>= 4:4.1.1), g++ (>= 4:4.1.1), make, dpkg-dev (>= 1.13.5) My suggestion is that ftp-masters add build-essential to that overrides file and clean up the overlap. If there is a good reason not to do so, feel free to reassign the BR back to debootstrap. Cheers, FJP
