Ok, let's say wanna-build is ok. Let's say everything is ok (I don't know enough about the buildd structure to claim otherwise). WTF is up then?[1] I've already released two DSA's without arm, and have 3 more pending. (I won't get into the missing oldstable ia64 sudo or the missing hppa stable spamassassin, let's call those flukes.) IIRC, there were release criteria for various archs; one release criterion was n+1 buildd's, and the other was "security updates". What's the proper course here? Should we expect that someone's working on fixing arm (and the other things I didn't get into) even in the absence of any feedback from debian-admin[3] or should we start "unreleasing" architectures?[4]
Mike Stone [1] For reference, I've tried soliciting feedback on arm from a number of sources. I don't have any indication that an arm buildd has built anything since 25 Jun[2] I've also sent messages about flakey builds on other archs. The only one that's gotten a response (and fix) was sent to Gerhard Tonn because I thought it might be a packaging issue rather than a buildd issue. [2] Newsflash: sudo and spamassassin stable arm packages have appeared! I missed them because they had the wrong date--apparantly the arm buildd completed them on 25 Jun, several days before I uploaded anything to klecker. I wait with baited breath to see if other arm packages are in a similar state. Perhaps stable is sorta fixed and only oldstable is terminal? [3] What is the proper contact procedure? debian-admin seems to be a black hole at the moment--who should [EMAIL PROTECTED] contact about buildd problems if not d-a? [4] I'm sure the amd64 guys would love it if we start swinging the ax, because that would alleviate any concerns about archive space... [5] (mandatory dangling footnote) Sorry if I seem a bit short, I'm just not sure how to proceed, and based on Joey's blog I'm not alone... On the upside, I didn't post a rant to slashdot, so I should get some credit for restraint. :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
