1 | Hi, |
2 | |
3 | It's time of year again to consider moving a few arches to dev-only status. |
4 | |
5 | I propose the following arches to lose their stable keywords |
6 | |
7 | - s390 |
8 | - sh |
9 | - ia64 |
10 | - alpha |
11 | - m68k |
12 | - sparc |
13 | |
14 | The manpower on these arches is below acceptable levels and they often |
15 | block stabilizations |
16 | for many months. This also causes troubles to developers trying to get |
17 | rid of old versions of |
18 | packages. |
19 | |
20 | I am CC'ing Mike and on this to draw his attention since he seems to |
21 | be doing stabilizations and |
22 | keywording on a few of them. Moreover, Agostino is also doing a lot of |
23 | work on these arches. |
24 | Consider what will happen if he ever goes MIA or decides to retire ;) |
25 | We will probably end up |
26 | with a pile of stabilization bugs like the good old days. |
27 | |
28 | In my opinion, having these arches be ~arch only, will improve the |
29 | overall user experience |
30 | since the arch teams will only have to test a single tree. It will |
31 | also help developers get rid of |
32 | old ebuilds and keep the portage tree healthy and reasonably updated. |
33 | |
34 | If I get enough positive feedback on this, I will propose this in the |
35 | next Council's agenda. |
36 | |
