  • Bug#1109200: grub2: please annotate build-dependencies

    From Graham Inggs@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jul 13 13:10:02 2025
    Source: grub2
    Version: 2.12-9
    Severity: wishlist

    Hi Maintainer

    Please consider annotating build-dependencies only needed for tests
    <!nocheck> and only needed for documentation <!nodoc>.

    This reduces the size of the "key" package set, and facilitates
    cross-building and bootstrapping.

    This does not need to be done all in one go; each annotation can help
    on its own.

    Regards
    Graham

    I've opened a merge request in salsa [1], annotating the qemu-system build-dependency <!nocheck>.
