It is possible to do that by ignoring policy and having debian/rules build depend on build-arch only and not on build-indep. I remember pkg-gis having to do that for mapserver many years ago. When maintainer-built .debs are finally thrown away and the required handling for arch all packages gets implemented on the buildds, I imagine the buildds will have to change to using build-arch instead? -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
