Re: [Pkg-octave-devel] Issues regarding octave-interval 1.5.0-1
* Oliver Heimlich <oheim@posteo.de> [2016-06-06 23:19]:
1. The package can't be build on some platforms anymore (mipsel and
hurd-i386 so far) because the creation of one particular plot for the
manual requires too much memory for buildd. Can I do something about it
except removing the plot from the manual?
2. Lintian says “arch-dep-package-has-big-usr-share” again. /usr/share
is at 2.2 MB, so it's a little bit above the threshold. I don't want to
ask the question of splitting the package into octave-interval-common
again.
My recollection is that we decided to rely on the threshold defined by
Lintian for splitting the package. If the threshold is reached, then I
think the package should be split.
However, if we did split the package: Would the arch-independent binary
be built on all platforms? If not, could this be a solution to the
out-of-memory issue above?
You will probably need to adjust debian/rules, in order to have
"make -C doc manual.html" invoked only for the building of the
architecture-independent package.
