[Ring] Good news and questions about "rules.mak" files

[Adonay Felipe Nogueira]

Hi everybody!

I have successfully made a still-in-testing package for Guix! :)

However, somethings caught my attention:

There are some "rules.mak" files that have build options for different
dependencies of the project, and since I'm a volunteer for the Guix
project, and since we want to package these different dependencies to
Guix, so we can also package Ring, I must ask:

Which build options in the "rules.mak" for the following list can be
safely ignored? And which ones, in the other hand, are a "must have"?

NOTE I'm not talking about the patches applied (in "$(APPLY)" lines),
because these are covered at an specific issue for enhancement (at
[[https://tuleap.ring.cx/plugins/tracker/?aid=1546]]).

The list of "rules.mak" files affected by the above questions, and
questionable options, are as follows:
