PipeWire multi-arch cross-build Discussion
If you're limited on time, I'd suggest focusing on amd64. A reasonable goal is to provide the latest PipeWire and associated libraries and tools for a large population of eager testers, and this can also help upstream to get better test coverage across usage patterns and equipment. More exotic architectures are left to upgrade their system e.g. Debian unstable.
Another policy would be to do like Debian, disable certain features for some architectures. This means you're spending minimal time on these other architectures, and many architectures are supported almost at no extra effort. Seems like a good compromise to me.
Trying to keep everything consistent across all architectures would require a lot of upstream work.

Yeah, I also thought like this. Its better to have a compromised pipewire other than nothing for other archs. As you can see as of now our PPA is ready to accept other architecture we can do for pipewire also with trimmed features.
Yeah have less time, but you can even give some MR for this :sweat_smile: otherwise it will take time for me.
Hi @tormodvolden
Can you please review 750e4a7cc428afd0bfa872490be95c94f678578d?
I landed here because I needed extended Pipewire tooling on Debian, like in the repo name...
Apparently, Ubuntu dpkg supports a compression algorithm that Debian dpkg does not => https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=892664
I get "unknown compression for member 'control.tar.zst'" when trying to use the latest blueman-git package from the PPA on Debian Unstable.
Maybe while adjusting for multiple architectures, you could also downgrade the compression so the packages are actually installable on Debian ?
@DanceMore which version of ubuntu are you using for debain unstable ?
for only blueman you can use https://github.com/blueman-project/blueman/wiki/Packaged-versions for now.
I will fix this in next version https://stackoverflow.com/a/72359798
