The decision to be made is who will package for this repo? I think these are the options:A) packagers upload both x86_64 and x86_64_v3 to the repos. Our build server will help those without x86_64_v3 machines.B) we recruit some packagers to build the x86_64_v3 packages. C) Some combination of A+B. My understanding is our x86_64 port started with B, then C, then A.
I am fine with either and could happily help with B in long term.For me the issue with either B or C is that our packages are often FTBFS and we are slow to fix them, generally. To make the port really usable for a B/C workflow, we need a way to fill in the time gap (because the old package could be unusable for the time, like missing a so-name bump etc).
Do you find it acceptable if the x86_64_v3 rebuilders put back in the new x86_64 package until the build was fixed and probably a point pkgrel was added for the real x86_64_v3 rebuild, as long as we use B/C to build for x86_64_v3, in the long term?
