arch: AVAILABLE_ARCH support

Question

Closed this issue 9 years ago · 12 comments

Proposing support for listing on what arch the package will build, and those not on the list will not. For example:

AVAILABLE_ARCH="amd64"

Then, when running with ARCH=amd64, the build goes on as usual. If running on ARCH=armel, then...

[ERROR] Specified package cannot be built on arch: armel.

When AVAILABLE_ARCH is left blank, then all architectures are free to build this package.

Added a blacklist scheme.

# foo/defines
arch_exclude 'arm*'

Can this still be factor'd into a variable? That would really make life easier...

Answer 3 · 2016-03-06T23:45:37.000Z

Ugh, why a variable…

Answer 4 · 2016-03-06T23:46:26.000Z

Ugh, why a variable…

Imagine out of nowhere comes a scheme-like command...

Hmm…… I can move this to defines actually.

With a single extglob… Right.

But still I have to say I prefer blacklisting so…

Answer 7 · 2016-03-06T23:50:41.000Z

Well simply assume whenever a file is sourced with extglob...

But still I have to say I prefer blacklisting so…

Fine by me.

With the negate glob operator, you can do something like !(amd64|armel).

Answer 10 · 2016-03-06T23:51:14.000Z

Why would I want that...?

Answer 11 · 2016-03-06T23:57:08.000Z

Because not(not(amd64 or armel)) is amd64 or armel, and that's what available means.

(God... I am always mixing this up with "given that") Don't mind me.
