build missing

Asked by Mark Foster

I uploaded source changes for a backport of rubygems 1.3.1 from jaunty to hardy into the bitpusher team ppa.

when I build it on my amd64 system it created these files in /var/cache/pbuilder/result/

mfoster@sea-build-002:~/work/packages$ ls /var/cache/pbuilder/result/ | grep ruby
libgems-ruby_1.3.1-1~ppa1~hardy_amd64.changes
libgems-ruby_1.3.1-1~ppa1~hardy.diff.gz
libgems-ruby_1.3.1-1~ppa1~hardy.dsc
libgems-ruby_1.3.1.orig.tar.gz
rubygems_1.3.1-1~ppa1~hardy_all.deb
rubygems1.8_1.3.1-1~ppa1~hardy_all.deb
rubygems1.9_1.3.1-1~ppa1~hardy_all.deb
rubygems-doc_1.3.1-1~ppa1~hardy_all.deb

However after uploading it only builds i386 package which I do not understand. The control file says Architecture: all

Here is the upload message for reference.

Package includes an .orig.tar.gz file although the debian revision suggests
that it might not be required. Multiple uploads of the .orig.tar.gz may be
rejected by the upload queue management software.

Mark,

Architecture-independent sources [1] are only built in a single architecture and the resulting binaries can be installed in any one. Launchpad/Ubuntu always use i386 for building arch-indep sources.

If you looks to the binaries produced in your PPA they will looks exactly the same as the one you've generated in your machine (<>_all.deb)
