Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal


Hi,

Please remove libisal on the i386 arch. Indeed, it fails to build, because
the package is trying to use non-32 bits assembler instructions.

Considering what the package does (ie: Erasure coding acceleration) and the
fact that there are alternatives (like jerasure) that are doing the exact
same thing, I don't see the point spending more time supporting a specific
arch. Also, it is very unlikely that someone will want to run such a very
CPU intensive code on i386, without SSE registers, anyways.

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)
