[Pkg-zfsonlinux-devel] Should spl-dkms be arch any or all?

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Hi.

I had a look at the Debian packages of spl-linux, and one difference
puzzles me:

diff --git a/debian/control b/debian/control
index 51c1318..91621c9 100644

 Package: spl-dkms
-Architecture: all
+Architecture: any
 Depends: dkms (>> 2.1.1.2-5), file, libc-dev, lsb-release, ${misc:Depends}
 Recommends: spl (>= ${source:Upstream-Version})
 Provides: spl-modules

On Ubuntu, the architecture of spl-dkms is any, not all.  Anyone got any
idea why?  Is there any reason not to provide the "source" package on
all architectures, even if it can not be installed without dkms?

CC to the most recent uploaders on Ubuntu, in case someone there have
some insights to share.  I failed to find the source repo for the Ubuntu
packages, so I did not try to check when the architecture choice was
introduced in Ubuntu.
