Package: liblopsub-dev
Version: 1.0.5-1
Tags: patch
User: [email protected]
Usertags: ftcbfs
Control: affects -1 + src:tfortune
Hi,
thanks for having improved cross building on the tfortune side.
Unfortunately, it still doesn't cross. This time around, the problem is
to be found in liblopsub though. In order to build tfortune, we need the
liblopsub shared library (for the host architecture) and we also need to
run lopsubgen (as a build architecture executable). These things
currently reside in the same binary package, but for a cross build we
need them to be installed for different architectures.
I am proposing to split the liblopsub-dev package into a liblopsub-bin
package. Since the former depends on the latter, all existing uses will
continue to work as is. Things change when we attempt to cross build.
liblopsub-dev will continue to be installed for the host architecture.
liblopsub-bin will be installed for the build architecture though as it
will be marked Multi-Arch: foreign. That enables us to actually run
lopsubgen.
We also need a quick excursion into that Multi-Arch: foreign aspect.
That stanza is a strong assertion on how a package behaves. In essence,
it says that the architecture of the package does not matter for
interactions with it. Quite obviously the architecture of the shared
library matters and therefore liblopsub-dev must never be marked
Multi-Arch: foreign. For lopsubgen, we are in a convenient situation.
All formats that it deals with are textual (e.g. C source code as output
format). Textual formats typically are architecture-independent. I
expect that no matter whether I run a amd64 lopsubgen or an armhf one
(on a suitable CPU or using qemu), it produces the same output. Please
correct me if I'm wrong and in that case do not apply my patch.
The proposed change requires a trip through the NEW queue as it
introduces a new binary package. It's not a trivial change nor easily
reverted (as it requires reverse Breaks+Replaces to revert). Please take
a bit of time to understand the proposed change before committing it and
ask any questions you may have. The lib*-bin split is quite common and
in searching for similarly named packages you shall find a number of
prior art examples.
Helmut
