Hello, for some time I'm working on the package kicad [1] to help the current maintainer Georges Khaznadar. Georges told me he currently haven't the needed time to get kicad fully prepared for the Stretch release and thankfully he gave me upload rights.
So I worked on the latest release of KiCad v4.0.5 and prepared the upload and changes for a Debian release. KiCad is using a lot of the Boost libraries, so the package libboost-context-dev is also needed. As I've now have seen boost changed [2] the supported platforms for this package in 1.58.0.2 and only the platforms any-i386 any-amd64 armel armhf arm64 mips mipsel powerpc ppc64el are now provided with a package of libboost-context-dev. Thus kicad isn't build able on mips64el and s390x [3]. And some other non RC platforms as well. So, now to my question, is this behavior preventing kicad to migrate into testing after the delay? Need I to change the Architecture field for the arch related packages of kicad then accordingly? As we are going on to the 26th January I would solve this issue before we would need to call for unblocking later. Or would kicad enter testing automatically and no further action is need for kicad? Thanks!
