Package: dose-builddebcheck Version: 5.0.1-14 Severity: wishlist Brief background: I'm currently working on a "local buildd" script, which I envisioned as being useful for something like the KDE team using it to test prerelease builds of a set of interdependent packages. Previously I had it ignoring Build-Depends and trying to build everything that came in, assuming that users would order their uploads appropriately. But it does seem that in the KDE example, for instance each new release of Frameworks will all come out at the same time, and it could be useful to have a script that initially just upgrades all source packages (and regenerates each debian/control's Build-Depends to the new version for internal interdependencies) and dumps them into the micro-buildd to see what breaks.
So, I was considering using dose-builddebcheck to replicate that part of buildd's functionality. I was hoping I could also, as a side effect, implement architecture filtering by dose-builddebcheck's filtering. So far, when I do the full run on debian_main_source_Sources with --deb-native-arch=amd64, I do see for example that iprutils (Architecture: powerpc ppc64 ppc64el) gets filtered out. The problem happens when I want to split out the binary-arch and binary-indep builds. If I run with --deb-native-arch=amd64 --deb-drop-b-d-indep, for example, I'm still seeing zzzeeksphinx in the output even though zzzeeksphinx is purely Architecture: all. Similarly, if I run with --deb-native-arch=amd64 --deb-drop-b-d-arch, I still see zziplib in the output even though zziplib is purely Architecture: any and has no arch=all packages. -- Daniel Schepler
