Still > not 100% sure, but thanks for addressing it. I think the solid way to address this is to make each architecture independent and don't stop the build for any arch if any other arch fails. The total failure state can be figured out once all the arches have completed and based on criteria on which ones are considered fatal or not, it would make a judgement. This is how it is done in Youri for Mageia. When we submit packages to build, all architectures build. However, only a failure in i586 and x86_64 triggers the failed state. Builds in armv5tl and armv7hl do not. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
