In which way would it improve some architectures and not the overall Debian quality? why would it reduce extensive testing of newer versions? Rejecting a package which is not buildable on a spacific architecture, because of an unpstream or maintainer fault, is a semi-automatic testing that can be implemented. If we let it in and then we auto-build it, we get a new package with FTBFS (i.e RC) bugs and slow down release even more. If we auto-build it first and, if no upstream/package faults, we let it in, we get less RC bugs. ciao, -- Luca - De Whiskey's - De Vitis | Elegant or ugly code as well aliases: Luca ^De [A-Z][A-Za-z\-]*[iy]'\?s$ | as fine or rude sentences have Luca, a wannabe ``Good guy''. | something in common: they local LANG="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" | don't depend on the language.
