Re: 8000 packages in the NCP2 repo: 3200 missing
BTW, 9300 packages imported now. 3700 missing...

This make sense to fix prior to addressing the rest of it. I don't think having packages with unmet depends in the unstable repository is a bad thing. I think in the worst scenario we can simply migrate known good packages to testing/stable and leave unmet packages in unstable. Having the packages there helps to get people involved: if they want to use the package they can help satisfy a few depends. +1 I generally agree with this statement. I forgot that testing is not yet propagated, so we can use this... Good idea. I wonder if we could utilize apt-get's ordering simulation, i.e. to verify if package A is good do this in a script: if apt-get install -s A; then echo A: good upload hardy-testing A else echo A: bad ... fi ___ gnusol-devel mailing list gnusol-devel@lists.sonic.net http://lists.sonic.net/mailman/listinfo/gnusol-devel

I wonder if we should implement this in the autobuilder since it already tracks versions in the repositories. Any bright ideas on how to deal with sources in a similar way? Somehow we need to bring sources with the binaries and I don't think we should bring over singular packages into testing. Should our solution consider multiple arch's for the future (when we might have a solaris-sparc port)? # Assuming we have a magical get_binaries_from_source function: packages=`get_binaries_from_source $source` copy_to_testing=1 for pkg in $packages; do if `cant_install $pkg`; then copy_to_testing=0 fi done if $copy_to_testing; then upload $source upload $packages fi Thanks, -Tim ___ gnusol-devel mailing list gnusol-devel@lists.sonic.net http://lists.sonic.net/mailman/listinfo/gnusol-devel
