Re: [pcp] pcp updates - last piece of debian packaging changes for this round

[Nathan Scott <nathans@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ken,

This part does not look like a valid solution - the "official"
buildd builds use the build dependencies to populate the build
root, so we have a chicken-and-egg situation here.  In the end
this would result in this code no longer being built even when
it should be (in Debian release builds, not our local builds).

Are these distros without microhttpd really current?  If even
RHEL5 has it (which it does) I'm amazed that there are current
Debian variants that do not ... ?  Can this problem be solved
by using more recent versions of these distros?

cheers.
