reassign 552688 dpkg-dev thanks [reassigning to dpkg-dev, if there is no consensus to enable these, the bug should be reassigned to general] On 06.10.2010 18:43, dave b wrote:
IMHO this is a bit silly you are denying users of debian security features found elsewhere (at least found elsewhere in their packages...). The point is to make the compiler hardened by default not only packages compiled and packaged for debian.
the point of injection is wrong. dpkg-buildflags supports setting defaults for compiler and linker flags. If some flags are missing, add them. If packages are not honouring these flags, fix them.
