[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#933045: release.debian.org: rustc can only be cross-compiled on mips; please override "Not built on buildd" blocker

[Ximin Luo]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hi, rustc is currently blocked from migration: 

https://qa.debian.org/excuses.php?package=rustc

<adsb> no, the issue is
<adsb>     Not built on buildd: arch mips binaries uploaded by infinity0
<adsb>     Not built on buildd: arch mipsel binaries uploaded by infinity0
<kibi> if in doubt → https://release.debian.org/britney/excuses.yaml look for source: rustc and verdicts for that stanza.

<infinity0> is that a recent change in policy?
<adsb> it was announced on dda
<adsb> in the most recent release team post there (the one just after release)

<infinity0> i see ok. the reason i do this is because rustc mips builds run out of memory
<infinity0> they can't be built natively on a mips machine, they have to be cross-built
<infinity0> how do you guys think i should proceed?
<infinity0> i tried asking buildd a while ago to support cross builds but they were reluctant to do it
<elbrus> infinity0: please file a bug against release.debian.org to discuss this
<elbrus> not promising anything but that is probably a reason for an exception
<elbrus> apparently not everybody agrees...

<_rene_> infinity0: can't you make it not built with -g or do -g1 or disable some features on mipsen?
* _rene_ does the -g1 thingy too, for LO
<_rene_> for anything except amd64 (and i386, but I probably should make it for i386, too, given I also ignore test suite failures there by now...)
<infinity0> _rene_: i've already tried all of those things
<_rene_> mmh, ok
<infinity0> and various other llvm options, it's detailed in some thread on pkg-rust-maintainers
