+ + + Updating Port Metadata for non-x86 Architectures + + + + + Mark + Linimon + + linimon@FreeBSD.org + + + + + aarch64 Poudriere Machine + armv6 Poudriere Machine + + + +

I have been analyzing the error logs from ports builds for + all non-x86 architectures, including both the logs published + on the package build cluster and also other builds of + powerpc64 and sparc64.

+ +

From this analysis, I have marked almost all the failing + ports as either BROKEN or + NOT_FOR/ONLY_FOR, as appropriate.

+ +

The intent of this work is not to make life harder for + anyone, but rather, in fact, the opposite. With these + definitions in place, it is possible to scan the poudriere + bulk build output (the "Ignored ports" portion, in + particular) and see quickly what ports are failing to build + and why. Previously, finding the exact reason why a build + failed needed some research (portsmon only models + failure messages on amd64). Additionally, it is extremely + difficult to work through several hundred logs that simply say + "failed to compile", "failed to link", and + so forth.

+ +

This is part of an effort to identify where we need further + work to bring sufficient Ports Collection support to, e.g., + armv6 and aarch64 to bring them closer to true Tier-1 + status.

+ +

To further facilitate locating patterns in the Poudriere + output, I have begun reworking some existing + BROKEN/NOT_FOR/ONLY_FOR messages so + that they will sort more easily. This includes sorting the + order of the ARCH definitions.

+ +

Many people have been doing great work on fixing the + individual ports. I hope that my work makes their jobs + somewhat easier.
