Packages not using the default build flags: a taxonomy

Talkat DebConf 2025 · on Tuesday, 2025-07-15· at 13:30· Petit amphi· [software-architecture]

Examines Debian packages on arm64 that deviate from default compiler/build flags (CFLAGS and related) encountered during PAC/BTI enablement. Presents a taxonomy classifying the kinds of packages that override defaults, illustrates examples including historical cases from the archive, and targets authors of scientific/academic software and package maintainers who might help address the issue.
