Dear all,
due to a long-standing annoyance in freeciv-client-gtk[0], I wanted
to rebuild this package locally and noticed that there still seems to
be no way to nicely manage what
# apt-get build-dep freeciv-client-gtk
pulls in - it just installs the required packages and then leaves me
with them. This is obviously fine if I use a fresh chroot for every
new build, but is there really no way to either
a) mark such packages as installed automatically in some way that
doesn’t instantly remove them again
or
b) remove all build dependencies of a given package that are not
required by others?
I know of deborphan etc., but they are usually rather cumbersome to
use (you have to iterate manually etc.).
Are there any obvious other ways to solve this problem? I managed to
put together a small shell script[1] that creates a dummy/meta
package, but I’d really prefer something ‘official’.
Best,
Claudius

if you really don’t care how much gold this particular city
wastes, cf. #659644 and http://gna.org/bugs/?16184 .
