OK, thanks, I thought this was it. In Zope's case, this just implies compiled Python libraries. This can normally be specified via the --platlib flat to setup.py, but as described in a prior message in this thread, the Zope setup.py overrides platlib in order to provide X-platform compatibility for install locations. This is the thing that will need to change. Thanks! - C On Fri, 2003-06-20 at 12:19, Luca - De Whiskey's - De Vitis wrote:

I'm afraid I'll need to understand more about what debian considers "architecture dependent". Can you provide details about what this means?
[There is nothing special about Debian and architecture dependent files]
Dependent is any file which cannot be used on a different hardware architecture. Compiled 'c' code is architecture dependent. Python compiled source (.pyc, .pyo), text files of any sort and almost all kinds of data files like sounds, images or videos do behave the same, regardless the hardware architecture they are installed on: thus they are architecture independent.
I tryed any conbination of setup.py options to make it work, but i was not succesful: that led me to think this feature was not considered.
