Re: Making Debian ports less burdensome
Some thoughts after reading the thread:
I would have thought porters would be following the buildd/piuparts/CI
pages for their port (where available) and thus would not need to be
notified about arch-specific FTBFS or testing issues. If porters are
relying on package maintainers or some automation to notify them
instead of being pro-active about builds and testing, that isn't going
to produce a high-quality port.
There is a tool for checking uninstallable and out of date packages already:
