Dear Maintainer,


node-node-sass should be split between arch:all and arch:any package.

The first one should be ma:foreign (if possible), the second one ma: same

It will improve crossbuilt and moreover be ma friendly

Hi Bastien,

Thank you very much for reporting. I fully agree with you.

However, as you might notice in this bug report[1] that node-node-sass has
been officially deprecated in favour of dart-sass. Which will take time to
be packages I believe.

But I'm unsure if it's worth to go for such a split and loop via the NEW
queue again provided the package is not under active maintainance anymore.
node-node-sass does not have many reverse dependencies either, thought.

I'm personally not motivated to fix this bug, to be very honest, since my workload of things with higher importance is a lot already.
I'm however perfectly fine if someone wants to do a team upload for this package.

Thanks again for the bug report!
Cheers,

Quoting Nilesh Patra (2021-09-18 11:49:51)
includes improving support for cross-building.

I do not expect dart-sass soon in Debian: Requires someone to package
and maintain and stabilize the dart compiler first, and then dart-sass -
i.e. multiple visit through NEW in addition to the packaging efforts
themselves.
