Hi, some days ago, we crossed the "50% packages uptodate" barrier, i.e. more than every second Debian source package is now available in its latest revision for Debian GNU/Hurd. This is an important value as it has been set as limit by the Debian ftp-masters for a port to enter/stay in unstable. The current uptodate value is 52.7%.
Yesterday, the autobuilder has finished building the last outstanding packages and is now mostly idle (except when somebody uploads a package which built fine before). Thanks to Samuel Thibault for valuable input on which packages should get requeued in the last days. This means we are now able to research in detail which issues are responsible for how many package build failures, and which as-of-yet unported packages are responsible for blocking how many other packages due to being a Build-Dependency for them. The latter has been very nicely visualized by Samuel Thibault here: http://dept-info.labri.fr/~thibault/tmp/graph-radial.ps To view the status of a package, you can query the form at http://unstable.buildd.net/index-hurd-i386.html It will either show the reason it failed, which package it waits on to get built, or that it is installed in the archive. An overview of all (currently 1269) build failure reasons can be found here: http://unstable.buildd.net/index-hurd-i386.html I will make an analysis on this data in the next days to give us some more information on what failures we most frequently run into. In the end, I would like to thank all the porters who made it possible to cross the 50% barrier, most notably Samuel Thibault, Cyril Brulebois, Barry deFreese and Petr Salinger (through his awesome work on GNU/k*BSD, which frequently helps us as well). cheers, Michael -- <Yoe> I received a comment from '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' on my solaris bashing blog entry saying nothing but 'Have you ever kissed a girl?' -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
