Proposed package blocking due to FTBFS

12-07-2010, 04:01 AM

I would like to propose blocking packages at the F15 alpha compose
point if they have not resolved their FTBFS from F14 or earlier. The
lists may be broken down by when they last did build. With 3
exceptions, these 110 bugs are all still in NEW state as well, so they
haven't had much maintainer love in quite some time (6-18 months).

I trust module-init-tools will get resolved with an impending upstream
release. Not like that can go unfixed forever. :-)

The best form of feedback is to resolve these bugs, or retire the
packages if they're unresolveable or unloved, but specific feedback
requested.

Thanks,

Is the policy we already have for this [1] insufficient or merely
unenforced?

Unenforced at F14 alpha stage, and it requires someone preparing a
candidate list to drop well ahead of the alpha stage, to give people
fair warning. That's what I'm doing here. :-)
