Source: scilab Version: 6.1.0+dfsg1-7 User: [email protected] Usertags: cross-satisfiability
scilab cannot be cross built from source, because its Build-Depends are not satisfiable. Instead of looking into such a difficult problem, I looked into easily droppable dependencies. Since scilab is normally reproducible, I looked for dependencies that would not change output artifacts when dropped. A nocheck build with the following dependencies moved to Build-Conflicts exactly reproduces the binary artifacts of a regular build: * chrpath * libreadline-dev * procps * mpi-default-dev * libcobertura-java Of these, mpi-default-dev likely is a red herring as something else likely pulls libopenmpi-dev. The other dependencies look droppable to me, but some may be used for unit tests. Please either annotate them <!nocheck> or drop them entirely.
