Package: librust-tree-sitter-dev Version: 0.22.6-8 User: [email protected] Usertags: cross-satisfiability Control: affects -1 + src:hx src:sdml src:tree-sitter-c src:tree-sitter-lua src:tree-sitter-markdown src:tree-sitter-query src:tree-sitter-sdml src:tree-sitter-vim src:tree-sitter-vimdoc src:turtlefmt
The affected packages cannot be cross built from source, because they have unsatisfied cross Build-Depends. Since rustc is a multitarget compiler, they all depend on the build architecture rust compiler in one way or another. librust-tree-sitter-dev has a dependency on "rustc". This implicitly refers to the host architecture compiler. In a cross compilation setting, we're unable to execute that and in all of the cases at hand, it poses an unresolvable conflict with the build architecture compiler. I'm not sure why there is a rustc dependency here. It is versioned, so maybe the version is the important part. Generally though rust crates do not depend on a compiler much like C libraries do not depend on a C compiler. For instance, the rust compiler package may be named rustc-web as is happening in some suites. We also don't impose a minimum gccrs version. Can we drop the compiler dependency? Failing that, can we turn it into Breaks: rustc (<< 1.65)? Failing that, can we annotate it with :any? Thanks for considering Helmut
