mipsel (and mips) are 32-bit ABIs. mips64el (and mips64) are the debian
names for the 64-bit ABIs.

'gcc -m64' (on mipsel) is multilib speak for gcc-mips64el-linux-gnuabi64

Debian should be fixing up these multilib shortcuts because they are
not consistent between architectures. '-m64' means different things on
different arches. Using an explicit GNU triplet in toolchain invocations will
always work both natively and for crossing.

See https://wiki.debian.org/ToolChain/Cross#Multiarch_vs_Multilib

adding -m64 on arm64 to a gcc invocation will result in an error
because it is meaningless. In general we should (IMHO) simply not be
using -m32 or -m64 in debian builds.

Not sure if I have understood you properly there? Maybe there is some
other reason for the build failure.

mipsel -m64 testing

2015-05-27 Thread Michael R. Crusoe
Hello,

With regards to the FTBFS below, is Debian mipsel always 64 bit, always 32
bit, or a mix?

How would I test that?

Thanks!

Not really since it also fails on arm64 with the same error.  I have
learned that there are upstream authors out there who are adding options
according "good feeling" (no idea whether parafly authors belong to this
group).  I'd recommend asking on debian-mentors@lists.debian.org since
I'm not an expert in this myself.

Kind regards

There was a small issue with the control file which contained a trailing
space after a dot. I fixed it for your and uploaded the results.

Since the package will have to pass the NEW queue, I'm closing the RFS
manually.

Kind Regards,

You name it.  In *this* case.  You should expect that things are working
differently if you derive from the default, right?

The good news is, the name "progress" as an executable is 
available in Debian.

$ apt-file search progress |  grep /bin

debconf: /usr/bin/debconf-apt-progress
fastdnaml: /usr/lib/fastdnaml/bin/dnaml_progress
goto-fai-progress: /usr/bin/fai-progress
kdesdk-scripts: /usr/bin/build-progress.sh
pcl-tools: /usr/bin/pcl_progressive_morphological_filter
videotrans: /usr/bin/movie-progress

and there's no sbin named progress, as expected.
So may I use *progress* as cv's *package name* and *excutable name* ?

The more I think about it, the more I like the command name "progress"
for its simplicity, instead of tweaking the original name too much and
making it impossible to remember for the users. Is such a name is
available within Debian ?
