Bug#1034779: pcre2: Please drop sparc from the JIT architectures in debian/rules

[John Paul Adrian Glaubitz]

Source: pcre2
Version: 10.36-2+deb11u1
Severity: normal
User: debian...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: sparc64
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian...@lists.debian.org

Hello!

While we're currently not building Debian for 32-bit SPARC (sparc),
it's still being bootstrapped in the Debian rebootstrap project [1].

The CI job for sparc is currently failing because pcre2 is still being
configured with "--enable-jit" while JIT support [2] for 32-bit SPARC was
dropped upstream [3]. See also for the corresponding change in buildroot [4].

Could you drop "sparc" from the list in [3]?

Thanks,
Adrian

Any chance this can be done now?

Thanks,

Thanks for the reminder, and sorry it was necessary. I've pushed 10.42-2
to unstable, which disables JIT on sparc.
