[Pkg-parrot-devel] Bug#636944: Please binNMU parrot on i386

[Dominique Dumont]

Hello

As mentioned in #636944, there's a mismatch between parrot's declated 
build-dependencies and what was actually used to build parrot. In 
i386 case, parrot was build with libffi. In all other arch, parrot 
is built without libffi.

This triggers a FTBS for rakudo on i386 because parrot looks for 
libffi include files.

This binNMU is a stopgap solution to resolve rakudo's FTBS. We 
need to discuss with upstream parrot to find a long term solution.

Theoritically, the following commands should trigger a rakudo rebuild 
once parrot has been binNMU'ed. Hope I'm right

 nmu parrot_3.6.0-1 . i386 . -m 'rebuild to exclude libffi (fix config mismatch between arches and rakudo FTBS)'
 dw rakudo_0.1~2011.07-1 . i386 . -m '(>= parrot_3.6.0-1+b1)'


Thanks

Dominique
