Okay, good :) (it would've helped if you had mentioned the following in your original mail...) * Jeroen: > Please also try to make your package actually FTBFS on systems not > supporting acpi, if that's possible, besides limiting the Architecture > line as you've already done. For one thing, when using dpkg-buildpackage, a package will FTBFS if the Architecture line doesn't contain the architecture you're building on (unless I'm mistaken, but I don't think I am). That being said, I'm not sure this is necessary. For starters, Jeroen included the "if that's possible" bit; but apart from that, it's not because the ACPI interface does not exist for an architecture today that it will never exist; it's not completely impossible that one day, someone will make a PowerPC-based system with an ACPI interface, even if it is unlikely. At that point, it'd be nice if the package would build for PowerPC without /too/ much effort. And as long as it won't build on PowerPC today, your job is done, I'd say. -- The amount of time between slipping on the peel and landing on the pavement is precisely one bananosecond -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
