Hi Dima, * Dima Kogan <dko...@debian.org> [2024-08-01 16:47]:
Thinking about this some more, I'm fairly certain that splitting the package is the correct way to do this because the -dev package shouldn't require python3 to be installed, which is currently required by numpy. Installing a foreign-architecture python3 requires qemu, so that's never what we want.The latest master HEAD in the Salsa repository has a proposed split that seems reasonably sane to me. Can you verify that it is working as you intended?Furthermore, some packages (like "mrcal", for instance) require numpy at build-time for two purposes:- Build-time code generation. This needs numpy:native - Accessing numpy.pc to build the extension module. this needs numpy:foreignSo if we really wanted to make this work without splitting the current python3-numpy package, it would need to be Multi-Arch:same AND be happy installing only the native python3. This isn't obviously possible, and even if it were, splitting the package would make this much clearer.
