Hi!
The buildd status on qa.debian.org shows individual architectures using
colors and symbols such as ⎇ ∉ ✔ ✘ ∿.  Alas, these symbols are arranged
by arch name, without grouping into release and non-release archs.  This
means, it is not obvious at a glance if a given failure is important or not.

Even RC regressions aside, I would like to know if it's a modern arch with
real users such as ppc64el or a museal/hobbyist piece such as hppa.  While
porting to weird archs may uncover real bugs[1], most of us have sharply
limited tuits, and thus would prefer to prioritize.

Thus, could you please put all release archs first, -ports later?



Meow!

[1]. Once, a failure on hppa let me notice that upstream code has a bogus
fixed-size assumption on the size of pthread cond var objects.

I'd suggest also greying out the non-release arches somehow, similar
to what buildd.debian.org does but perhaps greying out the status
symbols instead.

Hallo,

Ich habe dir eine Mail geschickt, aber keine Antwort von dir, warum?
