Hi, We're trying to build Cups for Devuan using Jenkins CI, and have run into an issue with circular dependencies between the arch-independent and arch dependent packages during the build. Additionally we seem to get the binary targets built when building the binary independent package and the binary tests are run - which depends on the binary packages. Of course we can't build the binary packages because they need the all target to run the test suites. To me it looks like it's a structural issue with upstream which isn't easily fixed. So can I suggest a) skip the running the auto-test suite for the arch-independent build b) look at teasing out upstreams build targets in debian/rules to separate them into binary-dependent and binary-independent targets to reduce wasted time rebuilding the documentation for every arch-dependent build and building the binary stuff in the arch-independent build. I'd appreciate your thoughts and would be keen to collaborate to get this done. Thanks, Daniel -- Daniel Reurich Centurion Computer Technology (2005) Ltd. 021 797 722
