[Pkg-erlang-devel] Bug#884282: erlang: Please build erlang-base-hipe for arm64

[Marcin Juszkiewicz]

Source: erlang
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I am building OpenStack components as Docker images (using Kolla
project as a tool).

One of components is 'rabbitmq' for which we grab arch:all package from
upstream and install it with rest of dependencies taken from Debian
'stretch' repositories.

The problem is that package depends on 'erlang-base-hipe' which is not
built for arm64 architecture.

I have to admit that I have no idea what that 'hipe' thing is (nor have
any knowledge about Erlang). Tried to enable it for arm64 and got it
built but do not know how to test does it work.

Can it be enabled and tested on arm64? Backport of such change to
stretch-backports would be lovely but I can handle package rebuild on my
own.
