Not sure I understand what you are saying here. If a buildd succesfully compiles code which does *not* request any ARMv6 or ARMv7 features (e.g. hardfloat or neon), then is there any problem at all?!? > Otherwise it is right that only removing nodejs and reverse deps from > testing would be enough. If you really want, you can add a build rule to explicitly fail, but please elaborate why that would be necessary. > I am not sure what is going to happen which Arch: all packages > build-depending on nodejs, though. Nothing need to happen with those, I believe. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
