That said, for arches that will only be cross-built, having them only in dpkg-cross will be perfectly adequate. The only real objection is that 'diverts' is a bit of a hack really - so long as having extra arches in dpkg-architecture in dpkg does not break native builds putting them there is better than having to add a new version with a diversion in dpkg-cross. The same argument probably applies to the other files which currently get diverted (dpkg-buildpackage and dpkg-shlibdeps). From this prospective, dpkg-cross should not exist as a standalone
package, but rather be part of dpkg or even better be integrated into dpkg itself. Which is, surely a nice thing to have, but, well, not for now.
Nevertheless it needs more work to get Debian to take cross-building seriously, and we need to prove it can work, so all this is a long-term goal. Doing what we need in dpkg-cross makes a lot of sense right now.
Exactly. Step by step we achieve our long-term goals. Thanks for your opinions anyway! Regards, -- I am free of all prejudices. I hate every one equally. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
