With this explanation, I think it would help a lot to all armhf users if the following line was restricted to the armel port: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-multimedia/mpg123.git;a=blob;f=debian/rules;h=afb018502621352914e757338a2dace6b65522cb;hb=HEAD#l25 Does anyone disagree that this is a good move, at least until something like https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=738981#25 is implemented? -- regards, Reinhard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
