Debian Sid will remove apt-build
Posted: 2018-09-18 04:53
When I was about to dist-upgrade my Debian Sid installation I noted that will remove the package "apt-build".
I am not sure why but possibly it lacks support and has not been maintained since a very long time. There was some comments on that already back in 2006:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... bug=365427
However, I cannot find anything conclusive at
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgrepo ... =apt-build
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/apt-build
My question is, if I let it be uninstalled, what other package(s) would provide the same or similar functionality of apt-build?
