What's the outlook on this happening?
I feel that arch:all packages requiring a specific architecture (or not buildable on amd64) are quite marginal. We can handle them by hand. However, this is not a blocker to have throw-away binaries implemented since we will always need to upload binaries (from time to time) to fix some toolchain issues or at an early stage of an architecture bootstrap. I am pretty sure FTP-folks can propose a solution to have throw-away binaries enabled by default, and special casing a few packages (e.g. using a special field in the .changes file, or have a list of whitelisted packages, or ...). I am not sure about the status on FTP-masters' side... but I think it only requires the project deciding when we will enable throw-away binaries by default. But before doing so, we should take some time testing the arch:all packages. Once that done, the archive can be configured to throw maintainers binaries (and cross fingers). Regards, -- Mehdi Dogguy
