Yes, that’s right: The buildds try to build xmonad-contrib before xmoand
is available, and then fail because of the build-dependencies. I was
waiting for all arches to have the new xmonad installed to request a
give back, which is now the case.
One of my ideas for DebConf is to see if the scripts can’t be improved
so that packages with unsatisfied build-depends are not even attempted
and are automatically attempted when the dependencies become available –
probably something related to AutoDepWait.
But I’m not expert WRT our buildd network and I don’t know how hard that
is, so I’m hoping I’ll find someone who can show me the right directions
there. Anyone interested?
Greetings,
Joachim
