I don't send a merge request as while it's a very little package we
do it very differently. In my reading abseil is _not_ guaranteed to
have ABI compatibility at all times. That's why it meant to be a
static library collection only. Forcing it to build shared libraries
and have other packages than libabseil-cpp-dev is no sense I think.
Benjamin may or may not confute this, let's hear him.
Then the self-testing can be disabled now, no need to comment that
out. Pass the following to dh_auto_configure:
-DABSL_RUN_TESTS=OFF \
-DABSL_USE_GOOGLETEST_HEAD=OFF
Of course it would be encouraged to have package testing. But it works
only with both options set to ON and have internet access to git clone
google test to the source tree. @Benjamin: may you ask its developers
to use the system gtest libraries if only ABSL_RUN_TESTS set to ON?
Regards,
Laszlo/GCS
