discussion on tech-pkg. BROKEN_ON_PLATFORM and NOT_FOR_PLATFORM are the same, except that (now) BROKEN_ON_PLATFORM sets PKG_FAIL_REASON and NOT_FOR_PLATFORM sets PKG_SKIP_REASON. BROKEN_EXCEPT_FOR_PLATFORM and ONLY_FOR_PLATFORM correspond in the same way. The idea is that going forward we will distinguish unbuildable packages that theoretically ought to be fixed (these are BROKEN) from packages where it doesn't make sense to build (these are NOT_FOR)... examples of the former include most non-64-bit-clean packges; examples of the latter include OS-specific language bindings. A general review of the uses of NOT_FOR_PLATFORM and ONLY_FOR_PLATFORM (converting many of them to BROKEN...) is coming up. Similarly, a general review of the uses of PKG_FAIL_REASON and PKG_SKIP_REASON is coming up. For this to become useful, pbulk needs to be taught to report failing and skipped packages differently - the idea is that failing packages should be reported up front and skipped packages don't need to be. This has not been done yet, but one set of things at a time... |
