Hi Igor,

it was nearly one year ago when

Now there was a QA effort that will probably result in an error
to this package.  What are your plans about zope-book?

Kind regards

Hi,

I started to work on a rebuild of all packages in etch inside an etch
environment. I used about 100 AMD64 nodes from the Grid'5000 project.
Since I was using AMD64 nodes, I first thought I would be building on this
arch.  However, after a first run, I had about 700 FTBFSing packages
(including a lot of false positives, due for example to the fact that I
was building everything, including non-amd64 packages).

So I changed my mind and built the packages inside an i386 pbuilder,
hoping it's a better tested arch, so it would reduce the number of false
positive. I still got ~400 FTBFSing packages, and started looking at the
logs and filing bugs for packages named a*. However, I discovered that
using pbuilder generated quite a lot of false positives, so I will switch
to sbuild to see if it improves the situation (ETA: end of next week). I
also plan to more on other tests when this one will work smoothly.

I am not going to process the rest of the logs before I switch to sbuild
because of the high number of false positives. However, the logs are
available on http://ox.blop.info/bazaar/faillogs/ , and the list of
packages that failed to build follows (warning again: lots of false
positives). If you file bugs, please credit the Grid'5000 project as I did
in #392117 for example: it's important if I want to be able to continue to
use the resources.

Packages that failed to build:
...
zope-book 1:0.20050408-1 TODO
...
