[Pkg-gtkpod-devel] Bug#689054: libgpod-cil: Wrong architecture field value in libgpod-cil package definition

[Andrés G. Aragoneses]

Package: libgpod-cil
Version: 0.8.2-6
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

libgpod-cil package of the libgpod project has a wrong architecture entry:
- Normally -cil packages are arch-independent but,
- This one isn't because the library contains interoperability/marshalling
(unsafe) code.
- Package should be compiled differently, then, in each arch.
- Proof of this is the file configure.ac of upstream:
http://gtkpod.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=gtkpod/libgpod;a=blob;f=configure.ac;h=669d433a47536ed5504eed12766f4876b476efa6;hb=HEAD
(Line 318, with different GMCS_FLAGS determined by ac_cv_alignof_double)
- The upstram bug is: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=684876

Patch to fix this upstream in debian git is simple:
