Subject: xserver-xorg-video-newport: video-newport should only exist on mips

Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2006 16:11:59 +0200

Package: xserver-xorg-video-newport
Version: 1:0.2.0-3
Severity: wishlist

Hi,
the video-newport is an hardware grafix options only available on the
SGI Indy, Indigo2 and possibly the Indigo. These are architecture mips.

All other archs dont need this packet at all (not even mipsel).

Hi Florian, sorry for the late answer,

we should indeed do this.  One problem though is we can't upload the
package without binaries, and I don't have mips hardware, so this would
require someone to build and upload it on mips every time.  Would you be
willing to do this?  The other option being to build the package on
casals.

Cheers,
Julien

Ahhh - right - i didnt think about that - i only thought it would be
okay to set "Architecture: mips" but there is no such thing as a source
only upload.

 .
   * High urgency for RC bug fix.
 .
   [ Brice Goglin ]
   * Add upstream URL to debian/copyright.
 .
   [ Julien Cristau ]
   * Install the upstream README.
   * Fix XAA module loading (closes: #402178).
   * Only build on mips, this driver is useless on other architectures
     (closes: #393709).  Thanks, Florian Lohoff!
   * Fix target dependencies in debian/rules.
   * Add myself to Uploaders.
   * Bump Standards-Version to 3.7.3.
   * Drop the XS- prefix from Vcs-* control fields.
   * Run dpkg-shlibdeps with --warnings=6.  Drivers reference symbols from
     /usr/bin/Xorg and other modules, and that's not a bug, so we want
     dpkg-shlibdeps to shut up about symbols it can't find.  Build-depend on
     dpkg-dev >= 1.14.17.
