[Pkg-cairo-dock-devel] Bug#634382: Bug#634382: cairo-dock-plugins: debian/control uses hardcoded list of non-Linux architectures

[Nobuhiro Iwamatsu]

Hi, Robert.

2011/7/18 Robert Millan <rmh at debian.org>:
> Package: cairo-dock-plugins
> Severity: wishlist
> User: debian-devel at lists.debian.org
> Usertags: linux-any
>
> The debian/control file in cairo-dock-plugins uses a negated list of architectures
> to specify a package relationship (most likely Build-Depends) on a
> Linux-specific package.  I.e. something like:
>
>  Build-Depends: libfoo-dev [!kfreebsd-i386 !kfreebsd-amd64 !hurd-i386]
>
> This is problematic because it will fail for any future kfreebsd-* or hurd-*
> architecture (like the upcoming kfreebsd-mipsel port).  The correct way
> would be to use dpkg architecture wildcards, e.g.:
>
>  Build-Depends: libfoo-dev [linux-any]
>
> Please consider making this adjustment to make life easier for future

OK, I will fix this on next upload.

Best regards,
