Yes, will do. Thanks for the note. > Maybe this should also be done for the *-for-extempore packages, since > there is no need to waste hydra cycles on otherwise unused packages. > I would also hide them using "define" instead of "define-public", which > would require to put them into the same module as extempore itself. > What do you think? I don’t know about hiding the packages and moving them to the same module. In the past we’ve kept package variants always with the original package it was derived from, e.g. “armadillo-for-rcpparmadillo”, which is only used for “r-rcpparmadillo” in the “statistics” module, but which inherits from “armadillo” in the “maths” module. Back then I also thought that moving them together would be better, but if I remember correctly I was asked to keep the variant with the parent package. I’ll disable the extempore packages for non-x86_64, but I’d like to see some more opinions about whether to move the variants. ~~ Ricardo
