[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#879408: RM: praat [armel armhf mips mipsel] -- ANAIS; sizeof(long double) must be >= 12

[Rafael Laboissière]

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Please, remove the praat binary packages for architectures armel, armhf, 
mips, and mipsel.  In these architectures, sizeof(long double) is equal 
to 8, but Praat requires the it must be >= 12.  I did not investigate the 
reasons behind this limitation, but it is preventing the package to be 
built on those four architectures (see [1], [2], [3], and [4]).

Version 6.0.35-1 of the praat package, which has just been uploaded to 
unstable, specifies a list of architectures that excludes armel, armhf, 
mips, and mipsel.

Thanks,

Rafael Laboissière
