I do oppose an NMU as you haven't actually explained why this patch is
necessary. Ubuntu doesn't have this patch and yet has been building
32-bit alsa for several releases without problems.
First it would have been nice to expose your opposition before, that
would have let us 50+ days to dig into the problem.
Saying "it works on Ubuntu" is not a right answer. Debian and Ubuntu are
different, some choices are not the same, and it is precisely the case
for bi-arch on amd64, where the location of the bi-arch libraries is
totally different.
I don't have an Ubuntu machine so I can't do more work in that
direction. It seems it is the case for you, so I let you propose another
fix for this problem.
Anyway we are doing that for all other bi-arch architectures in Debian
(amd64 on i386, sparc64 on sparc, ppc64 on powerpc, s390x on s390),
either from upstream or from a debian patch (see 121_i386_x86_64_biarch
for example). That's why I don't understand why you don't want the same
for i386 on amd64. Also note removing the part I wanted to add on those
architectures makes alsa-lib FTBFS in the same way as on amd64.
And I absolutely do not want the untested ppc64 patch going in.
That's your choice, I respect it.
I am also planning to fix bug #315306 at the same time, as the patch is
And don't do that either. NMUs are not an excuse to get random pet
bug fixes in.
It's not a random pet bug. It's a porting bug that has been opened for
more than a year without any answer. I was wanting to do a porter NMU
for amd64 and kfreebsd-i386.
Bye,
Aurelien
