How should a package build script cope with a fault in a package used in a build?
The situation: there is a fatal bug in the 'ocaml' binary package for the amd64 architecture. This package would contain the native code ocaml compiler for amd64, which has a bug. Native code compilers for x86 works. The debian/rules can detect amd64, and there is a way to force the upstream source to not use the native code compiler. However, the problem will probably be fixed, but I cannot predict in which release of Ocaml. I propose to 'hack' debian/rules to cope. Would that be the proper way? -- John Skaller, skaller at users.sf.net PO Box 401 Glebe, NSW 2037, Australia Ph:61-2-96600850 Download Felix here: http://felix.sf.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
