Hello, > xpra failed to build on armel and armhf. See > https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=xpra&arch=armel&ver=3.0.8%2Bdfsg1-1&stamp=1586872010&raw=0
based on upstream suggestion, I removed the patch, and let the program do its job, by adding the dependencies on xorg and xvfb (this one can probably be installed just on arm) I also added xvfb on debian/tests/control, and the autopkgtest went green also on armhf! --- xpra-3.0.9+dfsg1/debian/changelog 2020-04-20 02:47:55.000000000 +0200 +++ xpra-3.0.9+dfsg1/debian/changelog 2020-07-21 18:49:46.000000000 +0200 @@ -1,3 +1,11 @@ +xpra (3.0.9+dfsg1-1.1) unstable; urgency=medium + + * Add xorg and xvfb to build and test deps and comment xorg patch + - This should help detection of the right backend on arm* and elsewhere. + see https://xpra.org/trac/ticket/2737 and Debian bug: #956822 + + -- Gianfranco Costamagna <locutusofb...@debian.org> Tue, 21 Jul 2020 18:49:46 +0200 + xpra (3.0.9+dfsg1-1) unstable; urgency=medium * New upstream release. diff -Nru xpra-3.0.9+dfsg1/debian/control xpra-3.0.9+dfsg1/debian/control --- xpra-3.0.9+dfsg1/debian/control 2020-04-14 11:52:20.000000000 +0200 +++ xpra-3.0.9+dfsg1/debian/control 2020-07-21 18:49:46.000000000 +0200 @@ -28,6 +28,8 @@ ,python3-all-dev ,python3-cairo-dev ,python-gi-dev + ,xorg + ,xvfb Rules-Requires-Root: no Homepage: http://xpra.org/ Vcs-Git: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/xpra.git diff -Nru xpra-3.0.9+dfsg1/debian/patches/series xpra-3.0.9+dfsg1/debian/patches/series --- xpra-3.0.9+dfsg1/debian/patches/series 2020-03-26 11:08:09.000000000 +0100 +++ xpra-3.0.9+dfsg1/debian/patches/series 2020-07-21 18:49:35.000000000 +0200 @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ ## Fixes build-hurd.patch -fix-xvfb-path.patch +#fix-xvfb-path.patch ## Misc. buildinfo.patch diff -Nru xpra-3.0.9+dfsg1/debian/tests/control xpra-3.0.9+dfsg1/debian/tests/control --- xpra-3.0.9+dfsg1/debian/tests/control 2019-04-10 03:39:32.000000000 +0200 +++ xpra-3.0.9+dfsg1/debian/tests/control 2020-07-21 18:49:46.000000000 +0200 @@ -3,6 +3,6 @@ #, isolation-container # ,isolation-machine # ,needs-recommends -Depends: @ ,coreutils ,procps ,x11-apps ,x11-xserver-utils ,xauth +Depends: @ ,coreutils ,procps ,x11-apps ,x11-xserver-utils ,xauth, xvfb # ,@builddeps@ # ,x11-common you can see autopkgtest results here https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/xpra/groovy/ I know adding xorg and xvfb is far from ideal, but I agree that the autodetection system that upstream provides us should work, and eventually be fixed if something is not correct, rather than patching it manually downstream. I don't plan to NMU this change, because I still feel not too confident on it G.
