Bug#734662: Please add an example of arch-specific dependency with more than one architecture
package: debian-policy
version: 3.9.5.0
severity: wishlist
Hello, an example of architecture-restricted dependency with more than
one arch should probably be added to the section 7.1 "Syntax of
relationship fields" of the policy. The document already specify that
the list is space-separated, but an example would still be welcome (at
least to me).
I propose the following chunk:
--------->8-----
If the architecture-restricted dependency should apply to more than
one architecture, simply list all architectures between braces,
separated with spaces. Example:
Build-Depends:
libluajit5.1-dev [i386 amd64 kfreebsd-i386 armel armhf powerpc mips mipsel],
liblua5.1-dev [hurd-i386 ia64 kfreebsd-amd64 s390x sparc],
----8<-----------
Thanks for the fish,
Mt.
