[Multiarch-devel] trying multi-arch build for libbotan1.10

[Markus Wanner]

Ondřej,

I hope you don't mind, since you didn't ask for help: I've reviewed
packaging for libbotan1.10 and tried to enable Multi-Arch builds for it.
I partly did this as an exercise in packaging. I'm not a DM/DD (yet).

The first patch (01-misc.diff) contains some corrections and a possible
simplification. Please review.

The second patch (02-multi-arch-ify.diff) is a first attempt at enabling
Multi-Arch builds for libbotan1.10. It seems successful for the library
itself (I'm able to install and run monotone:i386 with it) but I'm
having trouble with the -dev package, as it ships an additional binary:
/usr/bin/botan-config-1.10. In addition to that, the -dev package
installs different headers depending on architecture (and configuration).

I can imagine some kind of wrapper around botan-config-1.10, but how
about the header files? Can these be unified based on macro checks
(possibly with the help of upstream)? Does this mean libbotan cannot
currently be Multi-Arch-ified?

Are there any examples of other libraries with similar issues?

Regards

Markus Wanner
