Package: www.debian.org Version: N/A; reported 2001-01-27 Severity: wishlist
Hello, (this is similar but different to bug #21620 in that I don't require download support). I think that now package pools are available, it is going to be more and more important to be able to find out answers to questions like: Has the latest version of libssl096 been compiled for sparc? or even better: What is the latest version of libssl096 available for sparc? This is important to know as package X, which build-depends on libssl096-dev, can't get installed in testing until it has been compiled on all platforms. This means libssl096 has been compiled for all platforms. update_excuses does not help, it was designed to answer the question "can libssl096 be installed in testing?", not "can package X use libssl096-dev from unstable for its build-depends on all platforms?". yes, I could download the entire Packages file for sparc to find out, but this file is huge, and my bandwidth is limited. (of course this means stable, as testing is guaranteed to have the same version available for all platforms) -- System Information Debian Release: 2.2 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux snoopy 2.4.0 #1 Sun Jan 14 15:45:35 EST 2001 i686
