Thanks for putting up with the work right away. I thought that I tried something pretty close to what you committed here and am unsure why I gave up on that approach. Yet, if this version of the package builds natively on buildds (i.e. arch-only) then it definitely solves the cross woes already. The package in unstable crosses fine if you interpret those Build-Depends in the right way (and pass -d to dpkg-buildpackage). In general, the separation of indep is a benefit to buildd time (especially if you are using source-only uploads), so I think the change is useful beyond cross building and you should go ahead regardless of whether we find a more general solution that also covers e.g. jansson. > Moreover, note that jemalloc is a soft dependency of nghttp2 and may > be dropped if it is causing problems. jemalloc crosses fine once you know the value of je_cv_static_page_shift and apply patch #807532. The former is annoying (as figuring this value costs some time), but not a problem. As long as jemalloc generally builds natively, I have no objections. You might want to widen the arch restriction for hurd-i386 to hurd-any though, as we are in the process of bootstrapping hurd-amd64. Helmut
