Hi, it looks like enabling this flag on armel/armhf is a little bit premature. Apparently it's not completely supported upstream, and might cause regressions, according to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1522678 Is that a feature that the Debian ARM32 porters and the security team

cross builds don't just require alternate b-d's, but additional ones too

2012-12-09 Thread Matthias Klose
For toolchain packages like gcc-4.7, you can't deduce the build dependencies automatically. Cross building the gcc-4.7 package (not building the cross compiler) requires additional build dependencies, which for a native build are used from the current build. These are: g++- g++-multilib- []

Required dpkg version in build-essential

2008-06-23 Thread Matthias Klose
I'm preparing a build-essential upload; build-essential currently depends on dpkg-dev (>= 1.13.5). Should the dependency tightened? If yes, which version should be used? If a version greater than 1.14.6 is used, I have to depend on dpkg and dpkg-dev, because dpkg-dev only requires dpkg (>= 1.14.6).
