[Pkg-xmpp-devel] Bug#980265: prosody has unsatisfiable cross Build-Depends

[Helmut Grohne]

Source: prosody
Version: 0.11.7-1
Tags: patch
User: debian-cross at lists.debian.org
Usertags: cross-satisfiability

prosody cannot be cross built from source, because its Build-Depends are
not satisfiable. Instead of looking into this difficult problem, I
looked into which dependencies would be easily droppable. It turns out
that lua-busted, lua5.2* and openssl are only used for running
build-time tests. Such tests are usually disabled during cross building,
so we can mask out the relevant dependencies via <!nocheck>. Please
consider applying the attached patch. A thus tagged nocheck build
reproduces the same binary artifacts as a regular full build on amd64
here.
