Severity: wishlist
Dear Guillem,
it's rather tedious to find the correct "Architecture:" value for a
binary package if only one or two architectures need to be excluded.
As I don't want to list all architectures listed by "dpkg-architecture
-L", I had to use
dpkg-architecture -L | fgrep -- - | awk -F- '{print "any-"$2}' | sort -u
to get an idea, which any-… wildcards probably exist. I then run into
the fact that neither any-armhf nor any-armel exist -- thanks to Lintian
for making me aware of.
I suggest to use "--list-known-wildcards" and "-w" as commandline
options for this list.
Thanks in advance for considering!
For the sake of completeness:
I had to exclude the arm64 architecture. (Details are in
https://bugs.debian.org/805532)
So I first made sure, that any-arm doesn't match arm64, too:
dpkg-architecture -L -W 'any-arm' | fgrep arm64
To get the final list I also needed the architectures which are
platform-specific.
diff <(dpkg-architecture -L | fgrep -- - | awk -F- '{print $2}' | sort -u)
<(dpkg-architecture -L | fgrep -v -- - | sort -u)
helped here to find mipsn32, mipsn32el, powerpcspe and x32.
