Hi Paul,
Attempted the following i) contacted upstream: no solution ii) contacted debian-mips: no reply iii) reactivated a setting in debian/rules which asks for 'lower resource use' builds on mips64el: no luck, build still failed (that was -2) iv) switched to an explicit architecture list omitting mips64el Only the last one worked, but now of course the package is marked as 'one formerly building arch is missing' which is true, but hard to overcome. Can you remind me how I communicate with the release (or ftp ?) team that this simply no longer builds on mips64el? Thanks as always, Dirk -- dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | e...@debian.org
