Speaking about that - 10% would mean to allow about 1300 failing packages. Maybe I'm too optimistic, but - isn't that a bit ;-) too much? A quick check shows: - x86_64 currently has 279 failed + 62 unresolvable = 341, with 13000 successful builds that makes 2.6% - aarch64 has similar numbers, but is currently rebuilding - someone will have to re-check tomorrow - armv7l has 360 failed + 137 unresolvable = 497 - compared to 12631 successful builds, that makes 3.9% (I'll ignore the 5 packages in the rebuild queue)
Therefore I'd say allowing 5% build failures would be enough.
I guess it might depend when you check, if you check the day after a new python or gcc lands it will probably be a larger percentage. I guess if you were also to think in terms of an architecture like s390x then the total number of packages that it makes sense to support are likely much smaller which would have the potential to push up the percentage failed by a significant amount. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
