Hi,

I think the buildds building stuff for the offical archive should only
do that. This includes not building for other archives (ports) or daily
images for d-i (no matter the source).


IMHO, if we want to initiate a change there, we should at least say why it is so important to separate those builds. From my POV, the only difference between the content of the Debian archive and an alioth repository is a GPG signature. Having that in mind, would it be acceptable to require a GPG-signed tag to initiate a build from? RedHat has been doing that for years and didn't hear about any major issue with that. Besides, we can also require that buildds building for d-i are configured with throwaway chroots (but i think this became
the default now?).

The problem is not about running blindly code coming from elsewhere. We are already doing that (DDs can upload anything to build on buildds... they can also upload/test exploits). So, we have to find better arguments before changing
this workflow and propose a sustainable alternative plan to build d-i.

Maybe they could be built on dedicated buildds that are not building
packages for the main archive? Though that would require more hardware.


This doesn't seem doable for all architectures.

Or run the daily d-i build as a job on the porter boxes?


Can we please define what porter boxes are for and stick to that? They are
not "available hardware to do any stuff".
