Yes, for a lot of cases you only want to build a small handful of = packages with different options, so it would be nice if you could find = out exactly what the options were for the upstream build and only build = the packages yourself if you've specified different options or depend on = a package with different options. The problem is the notion of dependency here. In some cases, linking = against a shared library built with different options won't change your = program's code, it will just make more things work. In other cases, = you'll have different things exposed in headers and even build-only = dependencies will impact the output. =20 David
