Dear maintainer,
The build toolchain was recently updated to support multiarch. I wrote a
small patch to convert libglew (1.6) to multiarch same. I based my
work on
http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Implementation
Warning it would need more testing. Dh compatibility must be check
(level goes from 5 to 9, the latter is required by multiarch). I check
lintian and the manpage but I'm a beginner.
DH compat 9 is only interesting in a multiarch context if you are using
dh(1). The appropiate recipe for converting this package to multiarch is
the classic debhelper one:
http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Implementation#classic_debhelper_and_autotools
So since compat level 9 doesn't help this package for multiarch support, and
the interfaces for level 9 are still not finalized in debhelper, I would
recommend *not* including that part of the change.
Updating to compat 8 is reasonable, since this is the current recommended
compat level for debhelper; but that's orthogonal to updating for multiarch.
The rest of the patch looks sensible to me, though I haven't build-tested to
check the results.
Cheers,
