This ignores the fact that builds doesn't mean works, though. Even builds is questionable -- src:docker.io is a good example of a package that needs more love to even build (which I'd reiterate _is_ happening upstream right now), but even upstream hasn't had a chance to test that it _works_, which is what I'm much more interested in (and which is something that we can't just test trivially archive-wide). In a perfect world, the project's test suite would do this work for us, but we're definitely really far from a perfect world, especially in the case of things like src:docker.io where upstream has a pretty decently comprehensive test suite, but we can't run it because it needs more extreme permissions than we can reasonably provide just for building an arbitrary package. ♥, - Tianon 4096R / B42F 6819 007F 00F8 8E36 4FD4 036A 9C25 BF35 7DD4 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
