Thanks for catching this - I had seen one of my packages build-failing
on some archs due to this, but had no idea what is going on.

Quite frankly, I'm somewhat uneasy about introducing such a major change
in the buildd infrastructure without some testing and MBF in advance.
Which is what you did then.

FWIW, "ip *link* add dummy0 type dummy" was needed with my version of
iproute.

Also I am somewhat concerned what will happen when removing the e
AI_ADDRCONFIG hint flag usaged. But I will have to find out.

Bug#966284: ITP: project-el -- Emacs library for operations on the current project

2020-07-25 Thread Sean Whitton
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Sean Whitton 

* Package name: project-el
  Version : 0.5.0
  Upstream Author : The GNU Project
* URL : http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/project.html
* License : GPL-3+
  Programming Lang: Emacs Lisp
  Description : Emacs library for operations on the current project

This Emacs Lisp library is the new generic API for operations on the
current project which will be included in Emacs 27 (hence the otherwise
unacceptably generic name).

I am packaging this separately because project.el is developing quickly,
and we will want to have newer versions available in Debian than the one
which will be included in the as-yet-unreleased Emacs 27 -- which is
already out-of-date.

We have separate packaging like this for several other things which are
bundled with Emacs, such as Org-mode and seq.el.

Worked this around in 3.5.0+dfsg1-1 upload, by supplying a wrapper
script `afdko`, and moving all the binaries into /usr/libexec/afdko/ .

If a font needs afdko to build one need to put /usr/libexec/afdko/ into
their PATH.

This sort of thing needs to happen upstream first.
