Package: ddccontrol Version: 0.4.2-2 Severity: serious Justification: packages must be supported on all architectures where it is reasonable
Hi Roberto, According to the changelog for ddccontrol, the package's architecture list is currently restricted to i386 and amd64 in response to bug #385812. But this is not a proper fix for that bug, because the package previously built successfully on ia64, alpha, and arm, and only now fails to build there because of your change. In the log of #385812, upstream claims: > ddcpci (the part that causes some problems to build on some archs) use at > least one x86-specific function (ioperm), so I don't think this part of > the code will work on alpha and ia64. This is false, ioperm is *not* x86-specific. If it were x86-specific, the package would not have built on these other architectures in the first place! I can't check that ddcpci works on my alpha, because it only works on cards from a limited number of vendors (my alpha's card is a Matrox Millennium II, which is not supported), but I don't see any code in here that's x86-specific. Please re-enable building ddccontrol on ia64, alpha, and arm, or at least check with the porter lists for confirmation that the package doesn't work there. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
