Hi,

your package needs positive porting to architectures.
Please do not make it Architecture: any in this case,
list the architectures or port it to all of them, both
Debian and Debian-Ports ones.

.oO(This pattern is getting common… maybe I should write a Wiki page)

Thanks,

Hi Thorsten,

According to the buildd logs [1], the package builds on every
architecture except for hurd-i386.  Instead of white-listing
architectures, doesn't it make more sense to patch around the PATH_MAX
issue on hurd-i386?  That seems to be the reason for the FTBFS, not the
use of Arch: any

If this isn't what you're referring to, please let me know.

Thank you,
tony

This also affects ubuntu's new ppc64el architecture.

Hi Tony!

No, you have to look at the ports architectures [1]. On sh4, for
example, I get:

*** Host support ***
checking for strip... strip
checking C flags dependant on host system type... failed
configure: error: Unsupported CPU architecture "sh4"

So it's definitely a matter of architectures being white-listed.

Please add support for hppa, m68k, ppc64 and sh4.
