Re: examples of gtest done right in Debian

[Ghislain Vaillant <ghisvail@gmail.com>]

Hi Anton,

That sounds like a good example, although not exactly what I had in mind.

Please correct me if I am wrong but I am assuming from this patch that 
gazebo was compiling gtest from a vendorized copy? The patch then 
consists in pointing gazebo to a different location for the gtest source 
files. So, gazebo was already following the upstream gtest 
recommendations, which made patching for Debian quite simple.

The upstream projects I am dealing with rely on the fact that a 
pre-compiled version already exists in the system and the latter is 
detectable via find_package. For this, I expect (perhaps wrongfully) 
patching to be much more invasive.

Hence myself asking whether such case has already been dealt with in the 
archive, so I don't spend too much time trying things.

Thanks,
Ghis
