Source: libei
Version: 1.5.0-2
Tags: patch
User: [email protected]
Usertags: cross-satisfiability
libei cannot be cross built from source, because it has a number of
Build-Depends that cannot be satisfied during a cross build. Most of
them relate to tests. Hence, I am introducing the noinsttest build
profile for dropping the libei-tests package. Then, given noinsttest and
nocheck, libei can be made to cross build with relative ease. Note that
black is an unused dependency and that python3-jinja is not a test
dependency. Please consider applying the attached patch.
Helmut
