Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.99 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch User: ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com Usertags: origin-ubuntu ubuntu-patch precise
Hi, It would be useful for initramfs-tools to be marked "Multi-Arch: foreign", to indicate that it can satisfy dependencies of packages of other architectures. Although Debian's dpkg doesn't yet do anything special with this, it's safe to add this tag in advance of package manager support. In Ubuntu, this is an early step in being able to crossgrade from i386 to amd64, because we don't have an -amd64 kernel flavour on i386 and (of course) our kernel packages depend on initramfs-tools. While Debian does have an -amd64 flavour on i386, it still wouldn't hurt to add this tag. If you're wondering why this tag is needed on an Architecture: all package, see the multiarch specification: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchSpec#Dependencies_involving_Architecture:_all_packages diff --git a/debian/control b/debian/control index 75bf493..8ca8827 100644 --- a/debian/control +++ b/debian/control @@ -10,6 +10,7 @@ Vcs-Git: git://git.debian.org/git/kernel/initramfs-tools.git Package: initramfs-tools Architecture: all +Multi-Arch: foreign Recommends: busybox (>= 1:1.01-3) | busybox-initramfs Depends: klibc-utils (>= 1.5.23-2~), cpio, module-init-tools, udev, findutils (>= 4.2.24), ${misc:Depends} Suggests: bash-completion Thanks, -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@ubuntu.com] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
