saiarcot895If there is a arch-dependent  package that depends on an arch-indep package (like foobar-common), should the arch-indep package have Multi-Arch: foreign?12:11
cjwatsonsaiarcot895: Maybe; what's important isn't whether it's architecture-independent, but whether it provides architecture-independent interfaces12:16
cjwatsonThe answer is usually yes, I just don't want to give a categorical yes because there are edge cases :)  read the spec12:17
saiarcot895cjwatson: If the package is just a metapackage, then that would be a more-likely yes?12:19
cjwatsonsaiarcot895: are you sure you mean metapackage there?12:21
cjwatsonit would be unusual for a -common package to be a metapackage (i.e. contain only dependencies)12:21
saiarcot895cjwatson: no, these are two separate cases12:22
cjwatsonmetapackages - maybe, although usually not much depends on metapackages so it doesn't really make a lot of difference12:22
cjwatsonand normally you won't actually be able to install a metapackage from a foreign architecture since the stuff it depends on will need to be native, so its main benefit would be if you were trying to cross-build something that build-depends on a metapackage12:24
cjwatsonwhich is pretty rare12:24

=== Elbrus_try_again is now known as Elbrus
Elbrusis there a way to get to the files in a (failed) build? the gnustep-base package is failing (for different reasons on different archs) but maybe config.log can yield some information for the ppc archs13:37
=== timrc-afk is now known as timrc
cjwatsonElbrus: I'm afraid they're deleted after the build14:04
cjwatsonElbrus: Make your package cat config.log if configure fails?14:05
cjwatsone.g. ./configure ... || { cat config.log; exit 1; }14:05
cjwatsonElbrus: In fact, dh_auto_configure does that automatically, so perhaps you should upgrade to that14:06
cjwatsonElbrus: I thought I asked not to start the transition until libav was ready?  Fortunately it doesn't seem to have intersected that yet ...14:07
Elbruscjwatson: gnustep-base is not part of the transition...14:08
Elbrusunless I am mistaken...14:09
cjwatsonAh14:09
Elbrusit is only gnustep-gui that needs the transition14:09
ElbrusI thought to get the rest in shape14:09
Elbruswell, and gnustep-back can only be done after gnustep-gui...14:10
fabio__hi17:20
fabio__sorry you can put in the context menu of the option will format a pendrive? and maybe even disassemble? as it was before 14:04?17:21
fabio__sorry my english..17:22
Elbruscan somebody tell me why gnustep-base on i386 was suddenly rebuild (and more important, why it succeeded without changes AFAICT)17:54
Elbrusis somebody working on it?17:54
Elbrusthan I better stop with my proposal...17:54
