[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#756780: Status bowtie + tophat (Was: [Help] Need help for architecture specific code)

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

currently we have

   tophat:         Depends: bowtie2 | bowtie
   bowtie2:        Architecture: amd64 kfreebsd-amd64

   bowtie/1.0.1-1: Builds only on amd64 kfreebsd-amd64 [1,2]
   bowtie/1.1.0-1: Does not build at all (as reported on debian-mentors[3])

What can we do to get tophat and bowtie into testing?

 tophat:
    1. tophat only Recommends: bowtie2 | bowtie   or
    2. tophat Architecture: amd64 kfreebsd-amd64
 I think 1. is the better option

 bowtie:
    1. upload 1.0.1-1 for Architecture: amd64 kfreebsd-amd64 only or
    2. find a volunteer to fix the build issue 1.1.0-1  (I guess also
       in this case we need to restrict to amd64 anyway)
 I think 2. is the better option but if there is no volunteer I'd go
 for 1.

Any opinions?

Kind regards

       Andreas.
