You're conflating two different ideas. The arch is orthogonal to TRYBROKEN. > They use TRYBROKEN to test packages marked BROKEN, but ONLY_FOR_ARCHS > sets IGNORE. This part is correct. These ports will never be tested on the build cluster no matter what the state of the toggle. It's a bit academic at the moment, as we haven't had enough horsepower to do a TRYBROKEN on any arch for a really long time. However, with the advent of the NYI machines, we are getting there. For a dummy load for debugging pointyhat-west, I have recently done a -trybroken run on amd64-8. Here is my fist-cut summary of the results: http://wiki.freebsd.org/Trybroken I don't have the cycles to investigate any further, so any and all help would be welcomed. My own theory is that for the tier-2s, since we don't have enough horsepower to do timely regular builds, that there's not much point representing that we can do -trybrokens. Thus, when I poke at sparc64 and powerpc every once in a while, I'm setting BROKEN or ONLY_FOR in the Makefiles just as a service to the users. (OK, and to make it so I have less results to look at after the next run :-) ) mcl _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
