buildd failures for amd64?

2006-07-20 Thread Joost Witteveen
Hi,

I from time-to-time notice that amd64 doesn't have a package in
unstable/testing, while most (all) other archs do. At the moment
for example natios-plugins is compiled for most archs, but the amd64
arch reports maybe-failed:

http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?pkg=nagios-pluginsver=1.4.3.0cvs.20060707-2arch=amd64stamp=1152532502file=logas=raw
http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?arch=pkg=nagios-plugins

When trying myself
  apt-get source nagios-plugins; cd n*; fakeroot ./debian/rules binary
on my amd64 box, I get the proper nagios-plugins*.deb's in 136 seconds,
so it looks like there was something wrong with the build box for amd64.

So, I wonder, could my box help with the compiling (I have hd and bandwidth
to burn)? (If so, does anyone know where to apply?)


Thanks!

Yes, I've seen it in the webpage. But it doesn't appear when I run
  fakeroot debian/rules binary
manually. So either something strange is going on on the buildd amd64 machine,
or the package has an unreproducing bug.

 In the past we had a few packages just hang in sbuild during build for
 no concernable reasons. This might be a new one with the same
 effect.

Yes. Although most packages are available for amd64, whenever I noticed
an unavailable package, I could manually build it without any changes.
So maybe it would be useful to send a STOP instead of TERM signal to the
process (and an email to the owner), go on with the next package, and 
let the owner of the machine find out later what went wrong with the 
build (connecting to the stopped process with gdb and friends).

(with a max number of STOPped builds of cource)

 To run a buildd you would also need to be a DD.

Well, I still get my [EMAIL PROTECTED] email:). Maybe I still am a DD?

 But you can do what you do now.

OK, that's what I'll do then.

Re: Broken applications: Openoffice on AMD64

 I've been using a 64 bit OOo for a couple weeks now, and have been quite
 pleased with it.  There's a working AMD64 port here:
 
 http://people.debian.org/~rene/openoffice.org/2.0.3/amd64/

That's the 2.0.3-1 version, released 2006-07-01, right? That must
be the same version announced here: http://openoffice.debian.net/
where it's described as: Note that they sttill are not usable; 
for example saving doesn't work...
Now, my uses of OO usually don't include saving anything, but I do
imagine that to be important for some people.

(I run debian-amd64 on a server, where I have no need for OO, so I
haven't tried it myself). 


Or does saving generally work, except for some exotic file formats like .doc?
