Bug#1025411: scilab: Please add support for "riscv64" arch

[Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo]

Source: scilab
Version: 6.1.1+dfsg2-4
Severity: wishlist
Tags: ftbfs patch
User: debian-riscv at lists.debian.org

Hi,

Please enable this architecture, with the patch attached or an equivalent.

I built it locally on hardware, it built fine just by enabling the architecture
in debian/control, no other changes needed.

This is possible after libjogl2-java gained support for riscv64, which happened
in recent days:

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1025373
  https://tracker.debian.org/news/1393347/accepted-libjogl2-java-232dfsg-10-source-into-unstable/


As a suggestion, perhaps the Architecture field should be set to "any".

Missing libjogl2-java or other build-dependencies in some architectures will
make this package to not be buildable there, but otherwise will cause no harm,
no spurious warnings or any other annoying side-effect (AFAIK), while avoiding
having to make changes to the package to support new architectures.



Thanks and cheers.
