Bug#634707: xserver-xorg-input-joystick: debian/control uses hardcoded list of kFreeBSD architectures
Package: xserver-xorg-input-joystick
Severity: wishlist
User: debian-devel@lists.debian.org
Usertags: kfreebsd-any
The debian/control file in xserver-xorg-input-joystick uses a hardcoded list of kfreebsd-*
architectures (e.g "kfreebsd-i386 kfreebsd-amd64") to specify a package
relationship (most likely Build-Depends) that isn't specific to i386
or amd64 hardware. I.e. something like:
Build-Depends: libfoo-dev [kfreebsd-i386 kfreebsd-amd64]
Since this relationship would apply all the same for kfreebsd-* architectures
other than kfreebsd-i386 or kfreebsd-amd64 (like the upcoming kfreebsd-mipsel
port), please consider using dpkg wildcards instead. For example:
Build-Depends: libfoo-dev [kfreebsd-any]
Thanks!
