DetailsThe qemu package only keeps growing. Recently 2.3.0-3 added a dependency on ceph which would pull in another 132 MiB.
Have you considered --enable-modules? That would in theory allow an optdepends on such large dependencies. I do get a "/usr/bin/ld: block/iscsi.o: relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against undefined symbol `error_abort' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC" error though when compiling with that option. But anyway, has this option been considered? It should not add a great burden on package maintainers while allowing for making unused, large dependencies optional. |

Note that qemu 2.3 doesn't build with last spice-protocol release. I didn't test with 2.4 rc2.
Please let me know if you notice some issue with the new package.
