(Please CC me in the replies as I'm not subscribed to debian-devel) Hi,
I'm looking into setting up my own local wanna-build instance as I want to rebuild the m68k port with 32-bit alignment [1]. Has anyone done this before? Or are there better alternatives for building Debian packages locally in an automated manner? I have already successfully used Helmut Grohne's rebootstrap to perform the initial bootstrap for m68k with 32-bit alignment and that worked without any problems. Now I want to rebuild the rest of the archive to see if there are any packages that FTBFS on m68k with 32-bit alignment. I don't expect many packages to actually fail as NetBSD on m68k has been using 32-bit alignment ever since the port switched from a.out to ELF format and they don't have any particular issues. There could just be a handful of Linux- or Debian-specific patches to work around the 16-bit problems on m68k which may trigger an FTBFS when rebuilding Debian on m68k with 32-bit alignment. On the other hand, switching to 32-bit alignment on m68k should fix many important packages on Debian on m68k such as OpenJDK or LLVM which have ever since had issues with the 16-bit alignment. Thanks, Adrian > [1] https://wiki.debian.org/M68k/Alignment > [2] https://wiki.debian.org/HelmutGrohne/rebootstrap -- .''`.
