Bug#404828: clanbomber: unusable on sparc and powerpc (clanlib issue?)
Package: clanbomber Version: 1.05cdbs-5 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable Hi, On powerpc and sparc architectures where I have tried it, clanbomber takes 99% of CPU and does not display anything but a blackscreen (the X window is frozen and not refreshed). It is impossible to shutdown and needs to be killed. It might be related to clanlib issues on big-endian architectures. See also #241931. With respect to the severity of the bug, I read (in reportbug) the following description: 1 renders package unusablerenders the package unusable, or mostly so, on all or nearly all possible systems on which it could be installed (i.e., not a hardware-specific bug); or renders package uninstallable or unremovable without special effort and chose it as it is not specific to one single hardware but at least two architectures. If I am wrong in understanding the severity description, feel free to downgrade the severity (and fix the reportbug English description... or maybe fix my English understanding). :) An easy solution would be to disable building of clanbomber on powerpc and sparc architectures (I wonder if it has ever worked).

reassign 404828 libclanlib2 severity 404828 important tag 404828 upstream confirmed merge 404828 335886 thanks Hi Frederic, Frederic Daniel Luc Lehobey [2006-12-28 14:38 +0100]: On powerpc and sparc architectures where I have tried it, clanbomber takes 99% of CPU and does not display anything but a blackscreen (the X window is frozen and not refreshed). It is impossible to shutdown and needs to be killed. It might be related to clanlib issues on big-endian architectures. See also #241931. Right, clanlib has never worked on big endian machines. Merging with the already existing bugs. I agree that clanlib should not be built on big endian architectures if it's that hard to fix it on those. If that is done, I'll ask for removing the clanlib packages on those architectures, too.
