Package: debian-policy Severity: wishlist -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
Hi, following on my earlier informal probe, I'd like to request that package names matching "*-*-cross" be reserved for cross compilation; the asterisk stands for any non-empty sequence of characters legal in package names. Existing packages are considered grandfathered in, as it is pretty unlikely that we will have an architecture called "fdisk". Proposed text (to be appended to 5.6.7): Names ending in "-cross" that have at least two dashes overall are reserved for cross compilation support, and should not be used directly.
