Hans-Jakob, I would be very interested if you can formally confirm that the latest uploaded version of geneweb (-8) does fix that problem on armel. Many thanks in advance (and thanks for your help fixing this). signature.asc Description: Digital signature

So, in short, this bug is RC as geneweb doesn't work on all arches with no native compiler. I should indeed have raised this severity earlier. I'm currently building packages with Hans-Jakob patch. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

It depends on what you mean by "normal". It is a known behaviour, and my personal feeling is that it is not normal. But upstream disagrees and recommends that bytecode executables should not be built with the -custom option instead, which is what we adopted as a policy in the Debian OCaml team. However, it is not trivial to build a bytecode executable without -custom when it contains C parts (I don't know about geneweb specifically). See #256900.

The suggested patch unfortunately seems not to work for me. The binaries are being stripped nonetheless. I suppose it is "too late" to set DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS at that place. Using override_dh_strip instead (see attached patch) did the trick. Additionally, I suggest to decide whether to strip or not depending on the WAY variable, which indicates whether the native (opt) or bytecode (out) compiler is used, rather than on the host architecture. This is already done in the attached patch. Greetings, Hans-Jakob Holtz geneweb_dont_strip_ocaml_bytecode_executables.diff Description: Binary data

Hello, Sorry for leaving this unanswered for too long Would the (untested) patch be the right solution? I have few experience with this so I may be entirely wrong.

Package: geneweb Version: 5.02~cvs20091031-7 Severity: normal *** Please type your report below this line *** On armel, the binaries (gwd, gwu, gwc, gwsetup, gwb2ged) are all identical and non-working. They only contain the OCaml VM, but no bytecode. The problem is not present on i386, due to native executables being generated there, which are safe to strip. Building with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nostrip makes it work on armel.
