Title:
Please support "any" architecture when building instead of hardcoding
an arch
Status in click package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I built a bunch of click packages from lp:ubuntu-*-app branches on my
amd64 desktop and run into quite some difficulty with the
"architecture" field in the manifest. It seems our compiled apps
currently hardcode "armhf" there:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-filemanager-dev/ubuntu-filemanager-app/trunk/view/head:/manifest.json
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-terminal-dev/ubuntu-terminal-app/trunk/view/head:/manifest.json
- When I build a click from that [1], I get a
com.ubuntu.filemanager_0.3.212_armhf.click which I can't install into
an amd64 schroot/LXC. Also, hardcoding it that way seems ugly/wrong to
me.
- When I simply drop it, click assumes "all" (that's not documented
on https://click.readthedocs.org/en/latest/file-format.html#control-
area), and I can install it on amd64, but it will not work when
installing it on another arch
- When I change it to ["armhf", "i386", "amd64"] then it'll build
com.ubuntu.filemanager_0.3.212_multi.click which I can install on x86
(tests run fine). But that's still wrong as it will still only work
for the architecture you build it on.
Thus I think there should be an "architecture": "any" (or similar) for
compiled apps which will behave like dpkg does and replace "any" with
the build target architecture.
[1] I use these commands for building:
checkout=/tmp/ubuntu-calculator-app
rm -rf /tmp/build /tmp/inst; mkdir /tmp/build; cd /tmp/build
cmake $checkout -DINSTALL_TESTS=off -DCLICK_MODE=on -DBZR_REVNO=$(bzr revno
$checkout)
make -j4
make install DESTDIR=/tmp/inst
click build /tmp/inst
