Again: what can I do with such a list? See the list below. >If the porters do this effectively, there's really not much need at all for >telling the buildd maintainers about transient build failures, because >they'll be pretty obvious (and account for the majority of failures, as it >should be). Just because it is obvious does not mean that the buildd adminstrator does the correct thing. kq was "uploaded" 51 days ago, trustedqsl was "uploaded" 25 days ago, neither is in the archive. openoffice.org has been "building" for 8 days, it only took 57 hours on my slower than any current sparc buildd pbuilder. kexi has been "building" for 6 days, it took less than 2 hours. The sparc buildd mainainter has in the past left transient build failures lie for over 6 months. For the past year he's been requeuing all maybe-failed packages every 1-3 months. I've gone through the list of "maybe-failed" packages on sparc again. The first sections is the packages that shouldn't be attempted on sparc. Two packages need requeued now that bugs in other packages are fixed. Several packages need to be put in dep-wait, and of course there is a large list that should be moved to failed. If nothing useful is done with this list, don't expect me to repeat the work again.
