please drop architecture list in debian/control

[Jamie Strandboge]

This came up as part of the MIR review in bug 1267393. In the interest of time, I am filing it on their behalf.

doko: "the package should be built for the upcoming s390x architecture as well."

slangasek: "Yes, it should; the architecture list in debian/control should just be dropped so that the package builds automatically for all architectures."

Turns out this isn't quite so simple, but luckily IBM have done the work for us (see https://github.com/linux-on-ibm-z/docs/wiki/Building-MongoDB-2.4-and-2.6). Attaching debdiff.

I've built an only trivially different version of the package in a ppa: https://launchpad.net/~mwhudson/+archive/ubuntu/juju-mongodb-s390x/+packages

Dimitri, could you look at sponsoring this for s390x support?

[Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox)]

This was fix released since 2015-12-15, sponsored by yours truly.

Hi, it looks like you copied the package from my ppa rather than applying the debdiff on this bug. The differences were: a less terse entry in debian/changelog, and the debdiff has Architecture: all (which is obviously wrong -- should be any!) rather than just adding s390x to the Architecture list. I don't suppose we really care about powerpc, but maybe something to be fixed in the next upload...

[Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox)]

I'm not sure what I've copied now =)

but http://launchpadlibrarian.net/230049938/juju-mongodb_2.4.10-0ubuntu4_2.4.10-0ubuntu5.diff.gz looks correct, thus ubuntu5 simply added s390x.

I've now uploaded ubuntu6 which changes to arch:any and powerpc did built successfully.

yay, thanks :-)
