Dear developers, The attached patch documents the new 'Build-Features: build-arch' control field in dpkg 1.16.1. This is an updated version of a patch already proposed in bug #218893 on 12 Nov 2003. The only change is that Build-Options was renamed to Build-Features by Raphaël Hertzog.
Cheers, -- Bill. <[email protected]> Imagine a large red swirl here.
