Dear LaMont Jones
Please can you do the requested changes on P-A-S now?
Dear Reinhard
Couly you please make it doesn't build on powerpc anymore and close this bug?
(see the debian/control file, Architecture: field)
Please don't do that!
>
There is no way in debian/control to express "build on anything but,,,",
The only option you'd have is to make a list like "build only on...".
No this is not true, one can use [!powerpc].
Better write some lines on the top of debian/rules which checks if it is
run on a blacklist of architectures (like powerpc), and use the $(error)
make command to fail the build. This way you can document why you are
failing the build, and make it trivial for powerpc porters to work on
this package.
Please don't do that, besides you are missing the point completely. The
software builds perfectly on powerpc, it's just nobody can ever play it
with more than 3 frames per second, because NVidia (nor ATI) will give
you accelerated drivers for those graphics card for linux.
As for overusing the buildds: The buildd maintainers will detect this
after the first failure, and add the package to the NFU list.
NFU?
I'm doing this change in svn now.
Again, please do not.
Thank you,
Gürkan
Nvidias statement as of 11/06/07 22:13 is:
I'm afraid there are currently no plans to support Linux on the PowerPC
architecture.
