There has been a discussion about this some time ago ...
(in my case the amd64 binary) and a postinst file created by Thorsten
that seems to implement some installation magic. I did not dived into
this but it fails for me:
Hmm, once upon a time it worked ...
The -initial-package does contain some binary stuff. This is only used to
compile the real sources from the -server-packages. So it is needed on
the buildd in some kind of package. But as one of my goals for the
future is to replace the -initial-package by some "real" mumps compiler, I
created two packages and hope to let one disappear in the future (this
would enable us to build fis-gtm on any architecture). Unfortunately I
found no mumps compiler yet that was currently able to do the job.
Further those packages are quite huge and if somebody just wants to have a
look at the sources, he does not need to download all that binary stuff.
As far as I understood the A-version of the initial package could also be
used to build the B and any other following version. So there is no update
needed for that package. Did I remember this right Bhaskar?
