Retitle 964136 glewlwyd build-depedencies unsatisfiable on armel
Thanks
Build has been fixed for mipsel and mips64el
Thanks, retitling the bug report for the remaining issue.
but it remains impossible
on armel since nodejs isn't available on this platform.
The thing is nodejs is used during package build only, to transpile the
reactjs front-end single-page-application. Then the result is the same
for all architecture.
If we could separate the backend build (architecture: any) and the
frontend build (architecture: all), we might have Glewlwyd available for
armel, alpha, ia64, m68k, ppc64, riscv64, sh4, sparc64 and x32.
I was able to whip up the attatched patch which partially splits the arch
dependent and independent
builds (an arch only build now only builds the arch stuff but an indep only
build still builds
everything) and do a succesfull arch only build on armel.
I am not planning to NMU this as I do not feel that I am in a position to
properly test the
resulting packages.
