Yes, that's right. > This is curently not > covered at all by edos-distcheck, that is we assume that the > Architecture field does not constrain installability. That's strange, because I think I was getting the same result when running edos-debcheck on that Packages as when running it against individual (i.e. arch-specific) Packages. > What would be the usecase for mixing package stanzas with different > Architecture values ? I wrote a script that given a .changes file it checks if introducing the packages referenced by it would cause an installability problem (I know I should be using -checkonly, but I don't remember the reason why I ended up omitting it :-/) You can find it at: http://git.debian.org/?p=users/atomo64-guest/misc- devscripts.git;a=blob;f=would-break.sh;hb=HEAD and its manpage at: http://git.debian.org/?p=users/atomo64-guest/misc- devscripts.git;a=blob;f=would-break.1;hb=HEAD Multiple architectures come into play when multiple .changes files are specified and they are of different architectures. For most people that might be uncommon, but when checking the built packages before releasing a DSA it comes handy to check all the architectures at the same time.
