Bug#353693: Looking for a autotools/libtool expert: Unnecessarily linked libraries
tags 353693 help
thanks
The Problem:
- Binaries in the tetex-bin package are unnecessarily linked against
libraries they do not use directly, but only indirectly through other
libraries [1].
- The solution described at [2] doesn't work, probably because the
package doesn't use automake.
You:
- Have some knowledge of the internal workings of autotools and libtool,
or
- You want to take the opportunity to finally learn about these
internals
- You have some time left
- You want to have fun debugging this issue, which isn't an important
problem now, but might get really annoying in the future
What we provide:
- A maintainer team (the Debian TeX Task Force) who are always eager to
learn, to listen to clever explanations, and to read your patches
- a package using autoconf2.13
- an unreleased upstream tree that has already been converted to
autoconf2.59
Looking forward to receiving your application, including a short,
handwritten resume and desired salary ;-),
Frank
for the Debian TeX Task Force
