| 100-ld-as-needed.patch | fix dpkg-shlibdeps warning Essentially this says don't link in libraries when no symbol from those libraries are used. Not implementing this patch causes warning messages to appear during dpkg-shlibdeps processing, and eliminating those is the first motivation for this patch. For more information see https://buildd.debian.org/~brlink/bytag/I-shlibs-useless-link.html . One option would have been to remove the '-ldl' argument. However it seems safer and more generic to use '-Wl,--as-needed'. This can be viewed as part of a wider Ubuntu/Debian movement to tighten the linking in of libraries. For more information on this wider movement see http://wiki.debian.org/ToolChain/DSOLinking . |

| 200-hardening.patch | use hardening build flags One of the release goals for the next stable Debian release is to have as many packages use security hardening build flags as possible. This patch enables them as recommended by http://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/SecurityHardeningBuildFlags |

| 300-freebsd.patch | attempt to port to Debian/kFreeBSD This patch attempts to get the package building on FreeBSD. So far it adds in '#include' statements that appear to be missing. However this comes unstuck when we hit the RTF_WASCLONED symbol. This would be defined in net/route.h but seems to have been removed. It would be nice if upstream or someone with more knowledge of FreeBSD networking would have a look at this. However for the moment the patch adds this #define back in. This gets it to compile but is highly suspicious. |
