Right, but if you want to *not* build on, say, s390x, and if you put B-D: unsupported-architecture [!s390x], won't the amd64 buildd try to build the thing and fail because it doesn't have unsupported-architecture? I mean, the [!s390x] set includes amd64, or is my brain totally messed up right now? :) G'luck, Peter -- Peter Pentchev [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] PGP key: https://www.ringlet.net/roam/roam.key.asc Key fingerprint 2EE7 A7A5 17FC 124C F115 C354 651E EFB0 2527 DF13
