[Pkg-crosswire-devel] BibleTime not moving to testing

[Roberto C. Sánchez]

That page says that there is no bibletime build for armel, mips,
mips64el, ppc64el, and s390x. The reason there is no build on those
architectures is because one of the build dependencies
(qtwebengine5-dev) cannot be installed on those archictures.

Looking at the debian/control file for qtwebengine-opensource-src (the
source package), this is how qtwebengine5-dev is declared:

Package: qtwebengine5-dev
Architecture: amd64 arm64 armhf i386 mipsel

So, the solution would be to update bibletime so that instead of
"Architecture: any", it matches the architecture list of
qtwebengine5-dev.

That said, bibletime-data is "Architecture: all" and I am not sure if
changing the list of valid architectures for bibletime should result in
a change to bibletime-data. Otherwise you might end up with
bibletime-data on architectures for which bibletime itself is not
available.  That is, unless the archive software does not include
"Architecture: all" packages in architectures for which no binary
packages are produced from a given source package.

That is probably something to ask on debian-devel before moving forward.

Regards,

-Roberto
