One of the many reasons I refuse to use Debian. You just don't get this kind of BS on Arch Linux, you get to chose what you think is right not what some maintainer decided is correct.
- delichon 2y agoThe maintainer doesn't decide which compiler flags to enable for the build? Does that mean that you build everything from source in Arch Linux?
- rfoo 2y agoYou usually don't. But if maintainer made such a controversial move it is very easy to fork-off the package and share with others. I'd expect a "real-keepassxc-not-some-braindead-nerfed-one" appears on AUR before I hit the problem.
- dtx1 2y agoUsually there's a binary package Compiled to whatever "upstream" considers stable. And then there are lots of AUR Packages, some binary, some src with variations.
- veeti 2y agoArch Linux has a policy of not deviating from upstream unless necessary. Their maintainers are unlikely to decide on compiler flags that specifically go against the KeePassXC developers wishes.
- redundantly 2y agoArch isn't special. On Debian, or any other distribution, if you don't like how a component works you can still compile and install it from source yourself.
