How to resolve circular build dependency?
Dear mentors,
in debian-astro, we have a problem with a circular dependency on two
packages that are currently prepared [1], [2]:
- the "casacore" needs the "casacore-data" package for unit tests
- the "casacore-data" needs "casacore" to be build from the source data.
The source data of casacore-data are actually independent of casacore,
so it does not make sense to put both into one common package.
How can this problem be solved?
Best regards
Ole
