I'm curious how the GPG bit works given that there is no guarantee that the signature can be validated at any other point in time than ingestion on ftp-master - especially considering the rotation/expiry of subkeys and buildd keys. In this case the files already come from a trusted source and should be ingested as-is, I guess? (Not that I particularly like the fact that it's only a point in time validation.)

I wonder if it makes sense to reach out, and see if there are resources available to use as porter boxes & build boxes. That way Debian might be able to get such donated resource available on ongoing basis and hopefully with some hw support. Debian already makes use of Marist's resources. The challenge was/is to get redundancy as DSA very sensibly insists on. Kind regards Philipp Kern

I mean in theory sometimes they turn up on eBay and people try to make them work[1]. It also seems true for other ports where we commonly relied on sponsors to hand us replacements. But maybe it's only ppc64el these days, maybe there are useful builds available for the others (including arm64 and mips) on the market now.

BinNMUs can require new Qt versions to be installed, but Qt can be upgraded independently to the newer version, causing the rdepends to crash. This can potentially be solved by Breaks, but it still breaks assumptions of people using Debian in that such ABI breaks will be communicated through SONAME bumps. And the old lib will not even be coinstallable. (Of course a good time to do such changes are in fact SONAME bumps, but I realize that this won't happen for Qt for quite some time.)

It's not unusual that they are uploaded in batches given that they are signed by a human person all at once if he tends to it.

While I did not take care about the fallout due to time constraints on my side, I did take a look at the meta-gnome2 migration back then.
