Package: gcc-4.0 Version: 4.0.1-2 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Hi! It seems defining the DEBIAN macro in source packages has become a common trend. I could find around 60 packages that define this or equivalent macros (the most common one being DEBIAN). What would you think of standarising it a bit by defining this macro in gcc? I can think of a few advantages, including that upstream developers can use it to identify our distribution. Please consider the attached patch. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-1-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Versions of packages gcc-4.0 depends on: ii binutils 2.16.1-2 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii cpp-4.0 4.0.1-2 The GNU C preprocessor ii gcc-4.0-base 4.0.1-2 The GNU Compiler Collection (base ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:4.0.1-2 GCC support library Versions of packages gcc-4.0 recommends: ii libc6-dev 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Development Librari pn libmudflap0-dev <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information
