I've been wanting to break out the Mumble overlay into it's own multiarch binary "mumble-overlay" package for a year (I'm the maintainer of the package in Debian)... unfortunately it's not entirely clear how to work this out and I find the documentation for multiarch a bit daunting: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec If a "mumble-overlay" package is marked "Multi-Aarch: same" to allow installation of it for both amd64 and i386, how does the user choose which architecture of the overlay to load? [Thinking out loud: could this be done via LD_PRELOAD ? How much of a headache would this be for the user?] Alternatively the package could be marked "Multi-Arch: foreign" which would allow loading the i386 "mumble-overlay" on amd64, but then "mumble-overlay" can only be installed for *one* architecture, so if the user then goes to play an amd64 game they'd need to know to remove the i386 package and install the amd64 one, which is confusing and rather a headache. I'd like to figure out a way to do this that isn't difficult for the user to use (and that won't create a support headache). Let me know if you're willing to test a Mumble package (that isn't in the Ubuntu or Debian repos) that attempts to do this. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle [email protected] -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1469539 Title: overlay not works To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mumble/+bug/1469539/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
