Daniel, I have a feeling you've managed to miss the _entirety_ of the discussion that's gone before. You've presented a whole lot of rhetoric about stuff which bears no relation to what's being proposed, and then make a 'new' proposal which is very close to what Spot _did_ actually suggest. > But blocking the packager synchronously at build time is really not > proper IMHO. Why on earth not? Much of the time that a package _used_ to build and now fails, it turns out to be a generic bug rather than really an arch-specific bug. It would be very wrong to just automatically ship such a partially-failed build, without any intervention from the packager to make sure it's OK. All I'm suggesting is that the packager should _look_ at the failure and make an educated decision about whether it's an arch-specific bug or a generic bug. If it's arch-specific and they don't care about the arch in question, it would be trivial for them to file the necessary ExcludeArch bug and push a button to ship the packages which already built, for the architectures on which they _did_ build. You wouldn't even need to rebuild with the ExcludeArch: in the specfile. The only down-side of this is that it would take slightly longer for the build to complete on all architectures. But the packages would be available from koji immediately after the the build completes on each architecture, and the actual push to the mirrors has huge amounts of delay for other reasons _anyway_, so it really shouldn't be an issue. -- dwmw2 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
