Sounds like a good idea. I'd speculate that it might be hard to implement, unless the notification mails were delayed until all arches have tried the package (or are in BD-Uninstallable state). Probably the debian-wb-team list is the appropriate place to request this. > It would also be nice to distinguish between failures at the package > installation time, and failures that happen inside dpkg-buildpackage.

Wouldn't the new BD-Uninstallable state catch these failures, or are we talking about bugs in the maintainer scripts of the Build-Depends tree? For the former, I imagine no mails are sent. For the latter, the package maintainer could file RC bugs to get the problem fixed or NMU if there already is one. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
