Broken .deb?

Open jbo5112 opened this issue 8 years ago • 3 comments

It doesn't look like the architecture is set in the .deb file for 0.9.3.1.

I'm afraid I don't have a lot of knowledge on Debian packaging. When closer to the next milestone release, I'll look at this again.

It took me a couple seconds to fix the package (empty 'Architecture' field in DEBIAN/control), feel free to ping me when you’re ready for the next release and I’ll help you build a working .deb package ;)

TBE is temporarily on hiatus because I'm too busy to work on it...

To prevent the loss of your knowledge: If you have a patch, I'll merge it. If you have an explanation or literature references, please write it here.
