I don't think people would like it if their package stayed in incoming for multiple weeks because there's a backlog on some architecture. People are bickering enough as it is when packages don't move into testing that we don't need this extra reason for them to bicker :-) > This would get us rid of all those packages in unstable with "Does not build > on ..." Unstable is there for that kind of things. And to detect other kinds of bugs, too. If you're going to keep packages in incoming like this, people won't be able to test it until it's built on all architectures. -- Wouter Verhelst Debian GNU/Linux -- http://www.debian.org Nederlandstalige Linux-documentatie -- http://nl.linux.org "Stop breathing down my neck."
