Bug#830997: release.debian.org: Permission to consider dpkg-buildpackage -A bugs as RC

[Santiago Vila <sanvila@unex.es>]

Kind Release Managers:

All the bugs reported by Lucas Nussbaum last week which have not been
resolved yet are now either in "pending upload" state, or there is a
patch available:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=qa-indep;users=debian-qa@lists.debian.org

Because it was not expected that we would discover a lot more bugs of
this type, I'd like this to be reconfirmed:

Still ok to consider this as a release goal?

(If yes, I will probably wait one more week for the dust to settle
before raising severities, or maybe wait for some kind of official
announcement).


As a summary, this is what we aim for:

* Every package in stretch creating both Arch:all and Arch:any
packages should build ok when using "dpkg-buildpackage -A" or
"dpkg-buildpackage -B". The command "dpkg-buildpackage -A"
should work in the Arch:all autobuilder, which runs amd64.

* Every package in stretch creating only Arch:all packages should
build ok when using "dpkg-buildpackage -A". The command
"dpkg-buildpackage -A" should work in the Arch:all autobuilder,
which runs amd64.

* It was already a release goal that "dpkg-buildpackage -B" should
always work (on the archs it is expected to work), but the official
autobuilders have been testing this for a lot of years already.


The above conditions would guarantee that every package in stretch may
be uploaded in source-only form.

Thanks.
