Source: mercurial Version: 5.6.1-1 Tags: patch User: debian-cr...@lists.debian.org Usertags: cross-satisfiability
mercurial cannot be cross built from source, because its Build-Depends are not cross-satisfiable. Rather than look into this difficult problem, I looked for easily droppable dependencies and there are some. A regular full build of mercurial on amd64 exactly reproduces the binary artifacts of a nocheck build with the following Build-Depends turned into Build-Conflicts: * netbase * patchutils * rename * zip * unzip I can spot a number of these in test cases, so annotating them <!nocheck> seems right, but it might just be that one of these has gone entirely unused. Please consider applying and improving the attached patch. Helmut
