The major complaint being made here is that this process relies on out-of-archive code, whereas the unsupported alternative with_deps_on_target_arch_pkgs does not. > All of which can be compiled trivially with Build-Depends / > Build-Using: linux-source, gcc-4.x-source, glibc-source. FSVO trivially. In other words: This may work nicely on Ubuntu, but you may have missed that we're talking about Debian atm. No, it doesn't build on Debian (yet, but it is being worked on). > [ Long parapgraph about how cross toolchains are supposed to work ] I do not disagree with the long term goal. I merely argue that it has not yet been achieved and that we should keep some legacy until then. This is why I asked a ruling to not apply beyond jessie. > The proposed multiarched builds, are only good for one time > out of the archive bootstraps, but in no way are supportable in the > archive. Thanks for making my point: These multiarched builds are currently useful for doing architecture bootstraps. That's what I used them for.
