Fair enough, I'll give it a try, let's see what we get. :) Thanks for your feedback. regards, -mika- signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I think it would be all right. Firstly, there is a difference between "fails to build" and "BD-Uninstallable" (build dependencies were not satisfied). Secondly, it is only a bug or an obstacle to migration, as I understand it, when a package which was previously built successfully later fails to build. If you look at https://buildd.debian.org/status/architecture.php?a=arm64=sid you'll see that there are currently 90 BD-Uninstallable and 129 Build-Attempted packages on that architecture. Click on the package "love", then on "Tracker", and you'll see that "love", which is "Architecture: any" but can't be built on arm64 because we don't yet have luajit, has still successfully migrated to stable and testing on the architectures where it can be built. So I think you can make your package "Architecture: any" without suffering any inconvenience, and it might be more convenient in the long run to do that. However, I am not a DD and have never myself maintained a Debian package so I could be wrong.

Hej, Sorry for the late reply. * Samuel Henrique [Sun Dec 25, 2016 at 03:45:30PM -0200]: > Have you seen this bugreport? > I think we should change guymager to Architecture: any and see in which > architectures it doesn't builds. I just added armhf + arm64 to the Architecture list in my git tree and will provide an upload soon. Why I don't use "Architecture: any" in guymager is that its Build-Dependency libguytools2 is known to support only those architectures: Architecture: i386 amd64 powerpc armhf arm64 If I'm using "Architecture: any" in guymager and it fails to build on those unsupported architectures then it needs extra steps to avoid RC bugs/autoremovals, nor? regards, -mika- signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Hello Michael, Have you seen this bugreport? I think we should change guymager to Architecture: any and see in which architectures it doesn't builds. I can prepare an upload to experimental for test purposes if you want. Regards, Samuel Henrique

Source: guymager Version: 0.7.4-2 It seems to build on arm64. Perhaps it should be "Architecture: any".
