Yeah, the data model includes a list of architectures by source package
and the parsing keeps only entries which are real architectures, the
architecture wildcards are just not handled.
Extract from distro_tracker/core/retrieve_data.py:
# Convert the parsed data into corresponding model instances
if 'architectures' in entry:
# Map the list of architecture names to their objects
# Discards any unknown architectures.
entry['architectures'] = Architecture.objects.filter(
name__in=entry['architectures'])
I think we don't have any code in the tracker to handle architecture wildcard
and try to do any mapping or expansion. Given the data model, that's we should
aim to do here. Creating all the possible wildcards would be wrong, instead we
want to process the list of architectures that the tracker knows of and see
whether it matches the wildcards listed in the source package field.
