Package: gnome-doc-utils Version: 0.20.10-1 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: Helmut Grohne <[email protected]>
Hi! Helmut mentioned that shadow cannot be bootstrapped because it build-depends on gnome-doc-utils, which cannot be satisfied when cross-building. And that because supposedly this package is being phased out or is being deprecated upstream, that you might not be enthused about making many changes to it. I tried then to switch shadow to use a pure gettext solution (see #881889), which revelaed that its XML support is not mature enough. Neither is the one in itstool, apparently. :( Which would indicate to me also that deprecating this project might seem premature? So at this point I think the easiest way forward is to do this simple change here (i.e. add a «Multi-Arch: foreign» field), which seems pretty safe to me. Thanks, Guillem
