. If you add -Werror to your
CFLAGS you basically introduce breakage for some autoconf-based
packages.
What we really should be having is an easy way for post-configure CFLAGS
addition. Just to support devs/users who insist on this for their
setups.

To illustrate harmless:
warning: this statement may fall through [-Wimplicit-fallthrough=]
The warning message already has it in it that it's just a pure guess.

Perhaps, if one persists on going this route, only do this for platforms
that upstream supports, such that arches which will suffer from this
(typically ppc, sparc, ...) don't have to be blocked by this.

fine today. It can also be solved today using shell tools.

results in no warnings/errors from bzip about trailing garbage, possible
thanks to the spec being smart enough about this.
Not having to do this, when under stress and pressure to restore a
system to get it back into production, is a plus. Though, in that
scenario the trailing garbage warning wouldn't have been that bad
either.

specify which tar format to use.
POSIX.1-2001/pax format doesn't have a 100/256 char filename length
restriction, which is good but it is not (yet) used by default by GNU
tar. busybox tar can read pax tars, it seems.

Would it be possible to run a service that sends a 302 for the
distfiles/foo-1.tar.gz to the appropriate bucket such that manual
fetching doesn't require to calculate the hash?

(I just wrote a small wsgi script that calculates the hash and generates

many ways to achieve the same goals, if and only if a blake2b
implementation were available for it.)

This is cool, but shouldn't it be something like openmp? (e.g. blocks)
There is no reason blocks have to be used if not on macOS (where system

The Message Transfer Agent Exim disallows tainted variables in transport

however is the solution, how to fix one's configuration.
Luckily it seems people find their way to Exim's bugtracker to get help
there.
