From 6f4d97c0db20af6e3d75063b118f3756983a589a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michał Górny Date: Tue, 20 Feb 2018 22:51:08 +0100 Subject: glep-0068: Add element to metadata.xml MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Add a new element to metadata.xml whose presence can be used to indicate that the package is suitable for ALLARCHES stabilization. Unlike the current system, this makes it possible to easily determine when packages can be stabilized wrt ALLARCHES independently of who requests the stabilization. For example, in Python ecosystem there are some packages which have C extensions or known-unportable code which we do not want to handle through ALLARCHES. Right now we have to either remember them or recheck for them when firing the stablereq, or — more commonly — we end up not using ALLARCHES when we could. Storing this information per-package will not only make it easier to determine whether ALLARCHES is applicable but also introduce some automation to determine that and react accordingly. Approved on 2018-03-11 Council meeting.
