If you upload from amd64, it then won't build an amd64 package, but use the one you uploaded instead. > >Rejected: source only uploads are not supported. That's exactly the point: at the moment, source-only uploads are REJECTED. You have to provide at least the binaries for one architecture. > Is it possible to ask the buildds to rebuild my package on all > architectures as part of an upload? No. If you want to *rebuild* a package using the very same source already in the archive, you can read about binNMUs. But that only happens for good reasons (e.g. transitions). That's not a workaround so that source-only uploads can happen. -- Cyril Brulebois
