Bug#942903: libbpf library is from kernel source
Package: libbpf-dev
Version: 5.3.7-1
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
libbpf-dev is currently packaged from kernel sources.
Please consider switching to GH mirror [1] so there are following advantages:
- Versioning is consistent with ABI
- GH mirror has CI tests
- Be consistent w/ other distros, e.g. Fedora which has already switched
to GH mirror in [2]
The whole rationale is in [3]
Thanks!
