Hi, |
2 |
|

dev-cpp/gtest is Google's testing framework. According to upstream it |
4 |
is supposed to be shipped as source code and then compiled by the build |
5 |
system of the software that should be tested. In particular it should |
6 |
be compiled with exactly the same flags. |
7 |
|
8 |
So far our gtest package has shipped only the compiled library and a |
9 |
bunch of helper scripts. Now bug 474454 asks for the sources to be |
10 |
installed too (or exclusively). What should we do? |
11 |
|
12 |
a) Drop the library from the ebuild and break most of the consumers who |
13 |
don't follow upstreams recommendation. |
14 |
b) Install shared library and sources giving maintainers the choice to |
15 |
follow upstreams instructions or not. |
