Maybe this would solve these > build problems. This is similar to my original proposal for 1029476, except I was merely switching all of the arch-all packages to arch-any. I can confirm that that approach builds correctly and the package installs and can be upgraded. It has the disadvantage of using more space on the mirrors and also a bit more time on the buildd machines, since the arch-all bits are duplicated. The advantage to your proposal of a single package is that it would also resolve the build issue, be be a bit simpler for users, and also make it easier for us to add new modules, since the package wouldn't have to go back through the NEW queue. The disadvantage would be the same in terms of space, but more importantly that installing tuxguitar would require installing the transitive dependencies of all of the plugins. I assume they are all co-installable, but I can imagine bug reports from ALSA or OSS users not wanting to have to install jack libraries. The question of the transitive dependencies from a single tuxguitar package is probably the most important one to consider. Maybe it's not so bad? I need to try to see. > I could try this out and put a new package on mentors; just let me know. Do you have a Salsa user account? If so, you could push a branch of https://salsa.debian.org/java-team/tuxguitar and we could collaborate that way. But mentors is fine too. But either mechanism works fine. If you have thoughts about the transitive dependencies of the single package vs. converting tuxguitar and tuxguitar-jsa to arch-any, let me know. Otherwise I will take a look at the single package approach over the next couple days. Cheers, tony
