I have reread the thread twice but I could not find details of the practical reasons. Could you please share them? A link would be enough if I just missed it.
I for example maintain a repository for kodi for for more than a half year because it sits in the NEW queue and I can't tell how happy I would be if I could stop building it for amd64, i386 and mipsel (which is really slow) again and again and I also have to tell armhf users to wait for official builds because I don't have the HW to build it. I see eid-mw is built on for i386 and amd64, while I assume it would build and work perfectly on arm* laptops and computers as well: https://files.eid.belgium.be/debian/pool/main/e/eid-mw/ Cheers, Balint -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
