I have a package (ruby-commonmarker) that does not work correctly on 32-bit platforms (builds but fails during test, not supported upstream on 32-bit). What is the best way to prohibit building on 32-bit systems?
I know I could make a manual list of all of the currently-supported 64-bit platforms and put those in the Architecture field, but that seems fragile to me, as it would require manual updates every time a new 64-bit platform was added. I looked at Architecture wildcards, but I couldn’t see a way to use them to specify all 64-bit platforms. https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-customized-programs.html#s-arch-wildcard-spec I have a vague recollection that there is a pseudo-package that only exists on 64-bit platforms, and you can restrict a package to only attempt 64-bit builds by Build-Depending on that package, but I don’t remember what the name was, and I haven’t been able to discover it by searching. Can anyone point me in the right direction? -- Soren Stoutner [email protected]
