Precisely.
Now, when a build fails on a secondary arch, it won't be silent. Emails
will go out to the architecture team, as well as a daily summary to
fedora-devel-list on a per-arch basis (e.g. I built these packages
sucessfully, I tried to build these, but they failed).
Yah. I assume this is where the people interested in the secondary
arches step in -- each arch will have a SIG, SIGs will monitor
failures, investigate, and file bugs when they have a fix for a given
package?
Sounds like a good process to me; opens up the buildsys to more arches
w/o imposing more work (on anyone who isn't wanting that work, at
least).
