they are not: they are either used to run tests or build the documentation. > I used the brute-force approach now and it built for me on powerpc with those > packages set to <!stage1>: > > python3-all-dbg, > python3-all-dev, > python3-cairocffi [!ia64] <!stage1>, > python3-certifi (>= 2020.6.20-1) <!stage1>, > python3-colorspacious <!stage1>, > python3-cxx-dev <!stage1>, > python3-cycler (>= 0.10.0) <!stage1>, > python3-dateutil <!stage1>, > python3-gi <!stage1>, > python3-ipython <!nodoc> <!stage1>, > python3-ipywidgets <!stage1>, > python3-kiwisolver <!stage1>, > python3-kiwisolver-dbg <!stage1>, > python3-mock <!stage1>, > python3-nose <!stage1>, > python3-numpy <!stage1>, > python3-numpy-dbg <!stage1>, > python3-numpydoc <!stage1>, > python3-pandas <!stage1>, > python3-pil <!stage1>, > python3-pkg-resources <!stage1>, > python3-pyparsing (>= 1.5.6) <!stage1>, > python3-pyqt5 [!hurd-i386] <!stage1>, > python3-pytest <!stage1>, > python3-scipy <!nodoc> <!stage1>, > python3-setuptools, > python3-six (>= 1.4) <!stage1>, > python3-sphinx <!nodoc> <!stage1>, > python3-sphinx-copybutton <!nodoc> <!stage1>, > python3-sphinxcontrib.svg2pdfconverter <!nodoc> <!stage1>, > python3-tk <!stage1>, > python3-tk-dbg <!stage1>, > python3-tornado <!stage1>, this is not good enough, you just marked !stage1 for all the packages that were on your way. please rework this patch to mark each of those as either !nodoc or !nocheck where appropriate and run the build with both profiles disabled; at that point i will be able to merge this.
