Package: sysvinit Severity: wishlist User: [email protected] Usertags: linux-any
The debian/control file in sysvinit uses a negated list of architectures to specify a package relationship (most likely Build-Depends) on a Linux-specific package. I.e. something like: Build-Depends: libfoo-dev [!kfreebsd-i386 !kfreebsd-amd64 !hurd-i386] This is problematic because it will fail for any future kfreebsd-* or hurd-* architecture (like the upcoming kfreebsd-mipsel port). The correct way would be to use dpkg architecture wildcards, e.g.: Build-Depends: libfoo-dev [linux-any] Please consider making this adjustment to make life easier for future porting efforts. Thanks! _______________________________________________ Pkg-sysvinit-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-sysvinit-devel
