P-a-s WAS changed to allow amd64 even though the package has NEVER been supported for amd64. And that change was not done on request of or even with the knowledge of the D-I team. It was done by some random person who happened to think that efi-reader possibly maybe also should work on amd64. And if efi-reader should be supported for x86, then surely it should be for both i386 and amd64, not just amd64? As I said in my previous mail, the current situation is a mess. The only way to get it consistent is to remove amd64 as supported arch in p-a-s. Note that efi-reader is a D-I component. It is not a regular package. > P-a-s is meant to list what architectures a package is supported for or > will be supported for in short term (if it's not supported on all > architectures in the first place). Which is exactly what I'm asking for. The long term situation (ever since the package was uploaded) has been that only ia64 is supported. amd64 has never been supported for amd64; there are no plans to support it for amd64. Or i386. > P-a-s is not a wanna-build state and as such changes in P-a-s don't > change a wanna-build state. Clearing a wanna-build state usually means > setting it to Needs-Build which does not make sense in this case. I know that. I also know that failed builds don't get removed automatically after p-a-s is updated. And that's what I'm asking for. If technically that means setting it to needs-build, fine. If there is some other way to do it, also fine. That's your expertise, not mine. I just specify the effect I'd like to see and that is to get bogus "failed" for efi-reader and the redundant "not-for-us" for partitioner off the build overview pages for D-I: http://buildd.debian.org/pkg.cgi?maint=debian-boot%40lists.debian.org http://buildd.debian.org/~jeroen/status/package.php?suite=unstable&p=partitioner http://buildd.debian.org/~jeroen/status/package.php?suite=unstable&p=partman-efi Cheers, FJP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
