Hello ,..


im thinkg about giving a package the abuilty to download and compile
the last source is it wise ?

huh? this is normal: get upstream, create source package, create binary
package. 99.9% of packages just install software with ar files and a few
scripts. None 'compile' anything, unless you consider python modules or
emacs files and the like.


since i don't know how to create sevral arch binary package
(amd64,i386,etc .. ).

If this is for Debian proper, they have porters to help with other archs.

Compose another question with more specifics and someone may provide
something else.
hope that explains.
