Can the DEBIAN and SPECS subdirectories be unified? How about BIGJUJU?

2010-04-26 Thread Ignacio Valdes
The DEBIAN and and SPECS sub directories perform very similar and
possibly identical functions among .deb and .rpm package managers. For
the sake of saving developer time and make the two systems more
compatible can a common name for these be agreed upon like for example
PACK? Failing that how about BIGJUJU? A SOURCES subdirectory for .deb
would also be advantageous. Between the two changes a higher degree of
conceptual and actual similarity can be achieved.

Can't we all get along?

Nah.

Specifying ia32-libs in control when on a 64 bit Debian/Ubuntu?

2009-06-22 Thread Ignacio Valdes
Hi all,

I have a deb package that requires ia32-libs to run on a 64-bit
Debian/Ubuntu, otherwise it works without it on i386. I have tried in
the control file:

Depends: ia32-libs [amd64]

But that doesn't seem valid. How does one specify ia32-libs should be
a dependency when on 64 bit?

Thanks!
