Hi Ole, Nice you are packaging MIDAS. I don't know any such script, and I doubt it would do the right job anyway. Are the indep files generated? What I would try is to compile the package on two distinct architectures (or more) and compare the result. That would work unless the build for these files is non-deterministic or includes timestamps or information on the build machine. amd64 and i386 may be sufficient and, if you have an amd64 box, it's easy enough to install a i386 chroot. Failing that, as a DM, you can request access to porter boxes (you are not a DD yet, are you?). I could also do the compilation for you since, as a DD, I have permanent access to those machines: https://db.debian.org/machines.cgi I guess you do realize that this split also implies putting the indep files in a separate arch:all package. Kind regards, Thibaut.
