Thanks all for the 'appreciation'. |

I'd like to remember that I'm not going away nor I'm retiring, I will just |
| 4 |
avoid to touch stabilizations, unless the stable package is part of my |
| 5 |
interest. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I'd like also to reminder that in the past I monitored the bugs via the |
| 8 |
bugzilla UI, and in the recent past I used the getatoms script to monitor the |
| 9 |
load for each arch: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
for ARCH in alpha amd64 arm ia64 ppc ppc64 sparc x86 |
| 12 |
do |
| 13 |
echo "${ARCH}" |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
python \ |
| 16 |
/root/getatoms.py \ |
| 17 |
-a "${ARCH}" \ |
| 18 |
--stablereq \ |
| 19 |
--no-depends \ |
| 20 |
--all-bugs > /dev/null 2>&1 |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
grep "=" /etc/portage/package.keywords/test | wc -l |
| 23 |
echo -ne "\n\n" |
| 24 |
done |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Actually we have a result like this: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
alpha |
| 30 |
82 |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
amd64 |
| 33 |
99 |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
arm |
| 36 |
154 |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
ia64 |
| 39 |
5 |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
ppc |
| 42 |
64 |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
ppc64 |
| 45 |
64 |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
sparc |
| 48 |
20 |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
x86 |
| 51 |
96 |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
Actually the result is increased by the large number of packages in the |
| 54 |
gstreamer stablereq. |
| 55 |
I worked daily-by-daily for amd64/x86 and occasionally for an arch. I always |
| 56 |
picked up the arch which have more bugs from the above list. |
| 57 |
A always assured that there wasn't an arch with > 200 bugs. |
| 58 |
Unfortunately I don't have time to work on the arch-specific. But if I can |
| 59 |
help with 7 arches you shouldn't bother :) |
| 60 |
On the other side, I respect and 'share' the point of view of the maintainer |
| 61 |
which has some arch-specific bugs freezed with noone that take care of. |
| 62 |
It is a fact that for those arches there are few users, so to improve the |
| 63 |
situation we can: |
| 64 |
1) Don't file keywordreq, since noone work on them. File directly stablereq. |
| 65 |
2) Reduce the number of the stable packages on those arches |
| 66 |
3) Make a more visible list( like a list here in term of |
| 67 |
visibility:https://qa-reports.gentoo.org/output/gentoo-ci/output.html) of the |
| 68 |
arches-dependent bugs so that everyone can contribute to maintain alive the |
| 69 |
exotic arches. |
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
If is not our interest to maintain those alive, just ignore my proposal. |
