OK, I tested installation of cross-build-deps for various packages
which have texlive build-deps this worked for a2ps (before
texlive-base was uploaded) (with some hackery of other build-deps,
also not yet multiarched), and musixtex
And for gpm with texlive-base uploaded. Which now crosses nicely in a
standard bare unstable chroot (with norberts test repo available).
Also cwebx, dieharder, waili, festival, cvs, bibclean, avrdude, pymol, velvet.
Quite a few packages don't install their tex-related build-deps yet:
(xnee, r-base, jags, sdformat, m-tx, systemtap, music, frobby, transfig, noweb) due to texlive-extra not being M-A yet
also
mftrace complains: texlive-fonts-recommended : Depends: texlive-base (>= 2015) but it is not going to be installed
That has:
Depends: texlive-base (>= 2015), tex-common (>= 6)
Breaks: texlive-base (<< 2015)
Not obvious to me why that shouldn't work. Anyone know what's up?
I tested a load of others which now all have an issue unrelated to tex.
I didn't test everything with build-deps.
But overall this looks great. A load of previously
un-cross-installable things now have cross-installable
dependencies. If you do texlive-extra too then that'll fix a load
more.
mftrace deserves further investigation, and once stuff is uploaded we
can do more build tests to see if everything actually works corrects
(as opposed to being merely installable).
