[buildd-tools-devel] sbuild: multiarch build support

[Hector Oron]

Hello,

2014-08-29 12:21 GMT+02:00 Wookey <wookey at wookware.org>:
> We've (Dima Kogan and I) just got support for multiarch builds working in sbuild.

> This removes one blocker for having multiarch-built cross-toolchains in the archive.

> If anyone at debconf can help us with applying this to the sbuild used
> on buildds we'd love to be able to upload a cross-gcc package that
> uses it so we can test other parts of the infra (wanna-build, dak,

> arch (as it already does for cross-builds). Apt takes care of the rest.

> The second part (for removing the arch after the build (on permanent

Where can we find those patches?

Cheers
