Fwd: Bug#732386: RM: liblo [sparc] -- ANAIS; Does not work, never has

[Felipe Sateler <fsateler@debian.org>]

Dear maintainers of liblo-reverse dependencies, I forward you the mail
in which I request the removal of liblo in sparc. If your package can
opt out of using liblo and you want to support sparc, please drop the
dependency there, as liblo will no longer be available in that
architecture. Otherwise, your package will have to be removed from
sparc.

Thanks

Subject: Bug#732386: RM: liblo [sparc] -- ANAIS; Does not work, never has
To: Debian Bug Tracking System <submit@bugs.debian.org>


Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

liblo (all binaries) needs to be removed from sparc. I doesn't work, and
never has. Please see bug #721617 for details (TLDR; unaligned access
and SIGBUS). Upstream may or may not fix the issue eventually.

I have just uploaded a version (0.26~repack-8) that purposely fails on
sparc and sparc64, so that it doesn't build again.

The reverse dependencies need to be removed as liblo doesn't work
(therefore, the rdeps don't work either). When I have this bug number I
will contact the maintainers so that package with optional dependency on
liblo can drop it if they desire to support sparc.

For reference, below is the list of reverse-depenencies of liblo that need
to be removed from unstable too.

The binary packages are liblo7, liblo-dev and liblo-tools.

Saludos,
Felipe Sateler
