(Like src:gstreamer1.0 and src:efl do) Or would it be possible to have an equivalent of the valgrind-if-available package, so that dependent packages like sysprof and gstreamer1.0 don't have to do their own tracking of the list of architectures where libunwind is or isn't available, which will frequently be out of date? Thanks, smcv
Bug#1052382: sysprof: Should not build-depend on libunwind-dev on unsupported architectures
Source: sysprof Version: 45.0-1 Severity: normal User: debian-...@lists.debian.org Usertags: m68k X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-...@lists.debian.org Hello! src:sysprof build-depends on libunwind-dev unconditionally despite the fact that libunwind is not available on the following architectures: - alpha - arc - hurd-i386 - m68k - sparc64 - x32 NB: While libunwind is currently not built on loong64, upstream support is already present and it's therefore expected that libunwind will be available on loong64 in the near future. Can you please disable libunwind for the architectures mentioned above? Thanks, Adrian -- .''`.
