hi christian, thanks for turning my attention. i understand the problem of rebuilding the binary-indep (all) packages on any architecture.
do you mean, i should also split the build into build-arch and build-indep, and activate each build-* from it's appropriate binary-*? if not, all upstream makefiles would need to be made on every architecture, but will be packaged only when the appropriate binary-* will be invoked. please clarify this issue, so i could fix the problem. btw, the control and rules files are missing form the example you provided below (i am using sarge on i386). best regards, alex On Tue, 2005-05-17 at 21:16 +0200, Christian T.
