The blacklisting can vary across the various official port-package
builder machines --and on the same machine when it builds more than one
type of overall build.
A sampling (that has less variety than the last time I looked) . . .
143arm64-default: (default means: latest, not quarterly)
(Note: a slower aarch64 build machine)
electron* (37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42 --so: all of them)
chromium
iridium
ungoogled-chromium
150arma64-quarterly:
electron* (37, 38, 40 --all but 39)
llvm-cheri
iridium
ungoogled-chromium
main-amd64-default, 150amd64-default, 143-amd64-default,
150arm64-default:
electron* (37, 38, 40, 41, 42 --all but 39)
chromium
iridium
ungoogled-chromium
Others that can have large build times as things are configured:
qt6-webengine
mongodb70-armv80a (only aarch64 builders; main-arm64-default build
timeouts at 48 hours)
py311-tensorflow (sometimes build timeouts at 48 hours on slower
builders, as does chromium; amd64 only)
