8 At least from a gnome perspective, we are having some important delays
9 with some arches:
10 - Pending keyword requests:
11 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=351931 -> sh and sparc
12 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=478254 -> alpha,arm, ia64, ppc*,
13 sparc
14 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=478256 -> the same
15 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=387959 -> sh, sparc
16 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=469722 -> s390 (this is probably
17 the worst case as they are then having a buggy old version)
18 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=469982 -> s390
19 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=471752 -> alpha, ia64, ppc*,
20 sparc
21 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=472510 -> s390
22 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=476710 -> alpha, arm, ia64,
23 ppc*, sh, sparc, x86
24 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=478082 -> alpha, sparc
25 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=466560 -> s390
26
27 In summary, s390 looks to be in worst state (as its missing keywording
28 affects even core packages like gtk+, pango...). But the situation is
29 also difficult for other arches like alpha and sparc because Agostino
30 cannot test them at runtime and, then, we think it's not safe to keyword
31 systemd on them without a runtime check, causing to lose Gnome 3.8
32 support for its "core" components.
33
34 - Stabilizations:
35 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=458984 -> m68k
36
37 If anyone could look at them, nice, but, from my point of view (not sure
38 what occurs outside gnome scope), at least m68k and s390 have important
39 problems to keyword/stabilize soon enough. And also noticed the
40 important problem of arches like alpha and sparc that are hard to test
41 at runtime :|
42
43 But this is only my impression, maybe some of this arches are more
44 active in other Gentoo areas.
