Hi,

2016-10-15 09:49 Helmut Grohne:

Package: xorg-docs-core
Version: 1:1.7.1-1
Tags: patch
User: [email protected]
Usertags: rebootstrap
Control: affects -1 + src:xterm

xterm cannot be cross built from source, because its build dependency on >xorg-docs-core is unsatisfiable. In general, Architecture: all packages
that are not marked Multi-Arch: foreign cannot satisfy cross
Build-Depends at all. I propose marking it Multi-Arch: foreign, because
it is Architecture: all, has no maintainer scripts or depdendencies. The
same holds for xorg-docs. Please consider applying the attached patch.

I prepared an NMU with this fix, plus the fix for the broken symlink in #858469, plus a change in the VCS from 2016 that has not been released
yet.

debdiff attached.

I uploaded to delayed/15, but if you want me to cancel or if it's OK to
change it to happen sooner, please let me know.


Cheers.

FWIW I don't think any of these changes are worth an upload. They're
probably not worth removing your upload either, except if they're not in
git they'll be lost the next time somebody touches this. So please
either cancel the NMU or provide a git tree we can pull from.

Cheers,
Julien

I fail to see how that can possibly be true for this package.

Anyway, thanks for the patches.

Thanks for taking a look and providing feedback.

I agree that the changes are not very important in general from the
point of view of the package.

However, they are somehwat important for cross-building and rebootstrap,
and to bring up new architectures, and since the last update was a
couple of years ago, maybe we'll go for a few months/years without
updates...


Anyway, I attach the individual patches that can be applied, if you want
me to provide the git tree I'll try to look tomorrow with more calm.


Cheers.

Well, it's one of the most basic x-term packages, but more importantly, rightly or wrongly, it's necessary to build glib2.0 w/tests in the
native architecture.

Urgh. I'd forgotten that xterm b-d on xorg-docs-core. Sorry :(

Anyway, thanks for the patches.

So will you want a public repository, or it's OK with these patches?

It's fine.

Cheers,
Julien

No problem!

Great! We're all set, then.
