Hello
Every day I am hitting tons of blockers stabilizations and keywording
requests for alpha, sparc, ia64, ppc and ppc64.
The powerpc team figured we'd deal with this by being "lax" about
keywording/stabilization and catch problems in subsequent bug reports to
increase our throughput. We didn't want to drop the entire arch to ~.
The team hasn't met since last august, and we should discuss this
again. But we decided then that ago would do stabilization and the rest
of us would do keywording.
As far as I'm concerned, I'm happy to drop all desktop-ish packages to
~arch, but keep the more server-ish, system-ish packages as stable.
Controlling @system with stable keywords is very useful for building
stages so I'm reluctant to give that up. So maybe we can just adopt the
policy that any ppc/ppc64 package which depends on X can be dropped to ~.
Would you mind generating a list of installed packages do you have now
currently on your ppc* boxes? That would be a good start point to know
what to preserve :) (I remember I was able to found the list of packages
in stage3 some months ago but I am now unable to :S)
Yes and no. I'd like to hear from the other ppc team members, otherwise
you'll just get my wish list.
Thanks a lot for your help
No problem. Can you categorize where most of the blockers are coming
from? Are they mostly desktop?
They come from multiple places, for example I am now fighting with
getting ipython finally stabilized after months of waiting because the
deps hell in python packages (as package A needs package B, B needs C
and D maintained by others... and the chain keeps growing and growing).
Ah yes. The python and ruby dep hell.
