Hi all, Should binary-from-other-architecture be emitted for i386 binaries in amd64 packages where the package depends on the 32-bit versions of libc/etc. For example, nsis isn't portable to !i386, upstream builds with -m32 by default and I use that to give it to amd64 folks. Once Debian has multi-arch support I'll be dropping the amd64 version and will expect folks to install the i386 package. Should I file a bug about this, or just override the errors for now? Also, nsis contains binaries cross-compiled for i586-mingw32msvc, should lintian also be warning about those too? Most of them are in /usr/share/nsis though. Yes, nsis is weird. It is a tool to create Windows installers. It is just portable enough to run/build on Linux but still contains tons of wintel-isms, mainly assuming the sizes of the integral types. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
