Details

Right now, hwloc is built without 'numactl' in the 'depends' list, making it unaware of NUMA topology. Any chance of enabling this? NUMA seems like a pretty core part of any "hardware locality" description to me.

Also, unrelated: it's kind of annoying that it has a hard dependency on a bunch of X11 libraries at the moment. Would it make sense to also have a 'hwloc-nox' package without the X11 dependencies as Debian/Ubuntu have? Would help for slimming down the dependency list especially on headless systems.
This task depends upon

Thanks for your feedback. I reorganized the package dependencies

- enabled plugins support
- moved pci and xml dependencies to plugins, the dependencies become optional now
- moved cairo dependencies to optional (only lstopo depends on it)


The package 1.11.3-2 is in [testing]. Please check that it works as expected and report if you see any issues with it.

Sorry I didn't respond earlier -- I missed the request for testing.

This works perfectly! I'll be able to remove 'hwloc' from my [ec2] overlay once this hits [extra].
