Correct. Our debian/ubuntu build server currently only supports building 32bit debs. We plan to fix this one day, but time is an issue. So no ETA for a fix.

In the meantime you can pull the source debs and cook your own. It's easy!

Hallo after one and a half year i would like to ask if there is any news on the subject. Considering that most of Cloud hosting companies offer 64bit systems and that vuurmuur was recently (02 September 2010 I think) removed from the official Debian repositories it would help greatly us that are managing multiple servers. Building from source while being a bit time consuming for a single system it is a lot of trouble for 10 or more systems.

ok, i386 abd amd64. Are there any other architectures that we do want to support (ppc, arm, ...)? I have to rethink the concept of the autobuilder and let it run in an emulation... Too bad, vuurmuur has been removed from Debian; shall we copy debian dir from the Debian packages or stick with what was already there?

[victor]

I think amd64 is enough, at least to start.

Using the Debian debian/ dir has the problem that it will disrupt upgrading of ppl using ftp.vuurmuur.org already, as Debian named libvuurmuur0 as the lib package name. I'm sure some Debian packaging foo could work around that though...

[adi]

I could do amd64 without emulation as well, because I have the hardware at hand. But I can hardly do ppc and I cannot do arm. So this is mainly a design decision... ;-) We do not need to implement ppc and arm right now.

[victor]

Right. I vote for just doing amd64 then. If there is demand for more (which I have not seen at all till this date) we can always consider adding support for other architectures.

Any clue as to when the amd64 packages will be available in the repository?

Thanx :)
