That’s a pretty bad experience that we should improve (my personal experience is nicer: I upgrade my system and home roughly weekly and usually without having to build anything locally). Now, I think it’s a mistake to “expect” build failures “to be found and fixed already”: you’re part of the process, you too can find, report, and fix build failures. Of course one has other obligations in life too, but if each one of us does a small part, it’ll work better. Thanks, Ludo’.
