Dear backporters,
Please find below a summary of the currently broken packages in wheezy-
backports. Each of main, contrib and non-free were checked but only packages
in main showed any problems (5 broken binary packages, 4 broken source
packages).
My current thinking is:
* run this check from cron and post the results to the mailing list on a
regular basis -- I'm not sure how frequently makes sense however (running it
every second day and only mailing if there are changes, perhaps?)
* the check should probably be run for more than one architecture to catch
more of the "it only builds on the maintainer's machine" scenarios -- however,
the main one of these is build-dep-uninstallable and that is caught here.
* I may as well also run the checker over squeeze-backports{,-sloppy} although
I'll need to make some changes for the double-overlay nature of -sloppy.
* I'll move it all over to either people.d.o or qa.d.o and put the git repo
somewhere sensible. (collab-qa on alioth, perhaps)
* Including the name of the changer (changelog) and uploader (gpg signer) in
the report would be nice, but I'll need to find a suitable source for that data
first.
I note that unlike the proactive unstable+britney arrangement we have for the
testing release, this checker is not protecting the backports archive from
problematic uploads. This is only a reactive QA tool but it will help spot
problems with uploads -- some of the packages listed below will have been
broken since their upload months ago.
suggestions welcome!
cheers
Stuart
