Re: RM: kfreebsd-headers-9.2-1-486 [i386] -- ANAIS; obsolete package

2013-10-07 Thread Robert Millan
Steven Chamberlain:
 http://release.debian.org/migration/testing.pl?package=kfreebsd-9
 Updating kfreebsd-9 makes 5 non-depending packages uninstallable on
 i386: cuse4bsd-dkms, fuse4bsd-dkms, kfreebsd-headers-486,
 kfreebsd-headers-686, kfreebsd-headers-xen
 
 Note that britney tests i386 first, then aborts without checking other
 architectures.
 
 cuse4bsd-dkms and fuse4bsd-dkms are Arch: all so I'm not sure why that's
 a problem.

I think Britney considers uninstallability of an Arch: all package on
i386 a regression, and therefore doesn't allow it.

I guess this part will require manual handling by -release? (CCing)

Otherwise we'd have to make those packages kfreebsd-any...

 kfreebsd-defaults should not provide kfreebsd-headers-* metapackages on
 linux.

I just uploaded 9+2 without them.

Specifically, britney requires arch:all packages to be installable on 
i386, and only checks them on that architecture.

It'd need a force-hint, which says ignore any installability issues 
created by migrating this source package and only applies to the 
particular version of the package. That's obviously not ideal for 
something that's going to want to migrate on a fairly regular basis.

We make it kfreebsd-any then?

For the sake of one (or was it two) extra binary package build, that
would seem the easiest solution all round, yes.

Done (for both fuse4bsd and cuse4bsd).

This problem is likely to resurface in the future. Please consider
finding a long term solution for Britney.

Thanks
