I happened to have had access to the internet during my vacation, and I happened to read a backlog on #debian-release that frightens me:
15:52 aj | "# unilateral action to run an emulated buildd -- all arm changes sidelined until fixed." 15:52 aba | oh, where? 15:52 aj | cron.unchecked, -> queue/delayed [...] 15:58 aba | (and btw, I would expect that ftp-master send someone who runs such buildds mail to please stop it ...) [...] 16:18 aj | and now aurel32 will presumably fly off the handle 16:22 aba | aj: I don't think that is a good idea either if the porters do uploads - i.e. blacklisting is probably better than whitelisting 16:23 aba | aj: and please let e.g. people upload to non-free and experimental, e.g. tbm or kmuto 16:28 aj | aba: not at this time Aurelien mailed debian-arm, went to #debian-arm, had no response. He then warn about his intention [1] to run qemu-based autobuilders to fill the gap due to broken arm buildds. He did that on the open, and got ... zero answers. I must say I'm shocked to see he has not been contacted yet, to kindly ask him to stop. This looks like a petty personnal war, whereas aurelien did a wonderful work. So, why : * does aurelien initiative causes troubles ? * aurelien hasn't been contacted by the ftp-master team first ? aurelien is really easy to contact, so there is no excuse to this completely inadequate behavior. * do someone found the time to blacklist everybody except elmo, whereas no one found the time to fix the arm build daemons ? I also noted that now that only elmo can upload arm packages, the whole arch:any packages migration to testing can be stuck by a single man, I really really ask the DPL that took this decision to (1) reconsider, (2) explain himself about that.
