Package: read-edid
Version: 1.4.1-2.1
Severity: important

In 1.4.1-2.1, powerpc was added to architectures by an NMU, but the
autobuilder for PowerPC never picked it up.

This version has migrated to testing, meaning the architectures list in
the .dsc file is now out of step with the actual binary debs in testing.

I'd love to make this an RC bug, but I can't justify it as Policy
doesn't ever specify the above, it doesn't FTBFS (I've built a local
copy fine) and the testing migration rules only require builds on
previously-in-testing architectures.

However, it'd be great (I think) if the maintainer poked
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to get it built, and then slipped it into
Etch before it shipped. ^_^

I note as an analogy that updates to /stable may include updates to
bring architectures into sync, although off the top of my head that
may have the same limitation as the testing migration rule of only
applying to architectures which had an older deb already in the
release...

(Not reporting from the PowerPC in question...)

Interestingly, the autobuilder _did_ try to build 1.4.1-2, which
didn't list powerpc in its architectures. I can't see read-edid in
the wanna-build database at buildd.debian.org for powerpc either...

I realise this package is all but end-of-lifed, but the parse-edid
util is used by some of the example scripts in lm-sensors, and in
fact can be fed directly from various points in sysfs and the open
firmware device-tree.
