This is done on purpose so that no package on a different architecture/kernel builds packages sucessfully with a different set of options enabled, else I'm sure there would be a different set of bugs sooner or later. The inotify option is not enabled for any non-linux kernel using machine. The parameters passed to the configure script can be manually overridden by a user, but they won't be for the buildd machines. > What I still need to do is, to adapt the inotify check for cross compiling, > right now it will always fail when cross compiled. Actually, no cross compiling is done. The powerpc buildd machine is a powerpc machine. The same goes for the other buildd machines. > I hope that info helps. > > Kind regards, > Jin -- Regards, Andres -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
