I want to speak up about endianness of data files, this is a suggestion but not a flaw which I just want to discover the possibility of improvement to current status by the chance of implementing Multi-Arch in Debian.
Some packages come with data files that endianness matters, and many of them are large enough to split into a separate arch:all package if endianness were not something to care about. AFAIK some maintainers are not aware of endianness issues in their packages and then just ignored it (not sure how many, but if any of them are discovered it should lead to RC bug). It would be great to have some mechanism to handle such kind of problems in Debian, to avoid forcing those data to be placed into arch:any package. -- Regards, Aron Xu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-dpkg-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
