True. Like I said, I'm not saying there's no work-arounds for what I experienced. My point is merely that I think in the end it is better to let the buildd do all build for all archs. I.e. we continue current way of uploading, but buildd will rebuild the uploaded bin (most often x86 I guess) to ensure a proper build in a clean env - just like you suggested in your previous respons. -- Frederik Dannemare | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=Frederik+Dannemare http://frederik.dannemare.net | http://www.linuxworlddomination.dk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
