The packaging for libpsl splits out psl-make-dafsa in order to avoid a
|
||||
cyclic build-dependency, which would make bootstrapping a debian
|
||||
architecture harder than it needs to be.
|
||||
|
||||
publicsuffix will build-depend on psl-make-dafsa so that publicsuffix
|
||||
can ship a compressed, rapid-access version (DAFSA) of
|
||||
public_suffix_list.dat alongside the standard text version.
|
||||
|
||||
but libpsl itself build-depends on publicsuffix. We avoid the
|
||||
circularity by ensuring that libpsl's arch-independent build can be
|
||||
done without publicsuffix.
|
||||
|
||||
So the path to bootstrapping should be:
|
||||
|
||||
* arch-independent build of libpsl (creates psl-make-dafsa)
|
||||
* full build of publicsuffix (creates publicsuffix)
|
||||
* arch-dependent build of libpsl (creates normal libpsl* packages)
