Joel,

So http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Gnu/gdb-7.6/ needs a dependency update, need to add XZ .

Joel,

Thanks for your response, I'll look at xz-5.0.4 ...


According to http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Gnu/gdb-7.6/, the Author is :

Author: Gnu Project Team <gdb-patches@sourceware.org>

This would be the group that created this depot, right ?

This is really a question for the group that created the binary
packages. If liblzma is not provided by the GDB package itself,
there ought to be a separate package that provides it. A quick
search on the internet yields, for instance:
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Misc/xz-5.0.4/

I am not familiar with the HP-UX packaging system so I cannot comment
further.
