Bug#733411: migrate only packages built on at least two architectures



Package: release.debian.org
User: debian-release@lists.debian.org
Usertags: britney

Hi,

as just discussed on IRC, it would be nice if britney would only
migrate packages to testing which are available on at least two
architectures (so that we know it had been autobuilt at least once).
(For the few exceptions which are only relevant for a single
architecture, there would need to be a hint like "singlearch package",
and also an initial cleanup before activating it sounds a good idea.)

Reasoning behind is that as of now britney doesn't get aware if
brand new packages FTBFS everywhere e.g. because of broken build
dependencies, but would happly migrate such a package to testing
(which then couldn't been built in a clean chroot), because the
package is current on all architectures it was ever built on. Forcing
human work to file RC bugs fast enough doesn't seem reliable,
especially if we could automatically detect it.



Thanks,
Andi
