Ah, I forgot about that again. You are right. Hm, but I have been told that build-depending on virtual package will cause random breakage [1] (on buildd side I guess?). Also I did not find a text in policy not to build-depend on virtual packages or I'm wrong ? > >>* Inform buildd admin add us to the Packages-arch-specific > > > > maybe just setting the explicit list in arch: field would be a solution ? > > There is already an arch field. > > >>[1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2005/03/msg00361.html > >>[2] http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2005/03/msg00369.html > >> > >>Any objections ? > > > > i object to the first part, the second should be ok. > > I also object to the first point and the second one is already there. > > I've updated a bit the rules in order not to build native packages on > non-native archs. It should be ok now. You can see it on the svn. Right I've already saw that and that's what I replied [2] to his mail, but Goswin insist of adding us to Packages-arch-specific list [3]. In fact I didn't find any justifications that ara needs to be listed there. Hints where to read abot that ? > I'll make an upload this week-end if nobody is against it. Good.
