Description Kent Fredric (IRC: kent\n) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2019-07-24 13:10:24 UTC
I've only _just_ noticed that the metadata in profiles.desc for bsd is out-dated compared to bugzilla:

# Gentoo/FreeBSD Profiles
# @MAINTAINER: bsd@gentoo.org
amd64-fbsd	default/bsd/fbsd/amd64/11.1			exp
amd64-fbsd	default/bsd/fbsd/amd64/11.1/clang		exp
x86-fbsd	default/bsd/fbsd/x86/11.1			exp


Have I misunderstood something, or should these be grouped with the proper relevant aliases?

And more-over, where does mail to bsd@ go, and is it the same audience as x86-fbsd@, amd64-bsd@ ? 

Yes, I know, nobody cares. But I find things like this.

It's intentional.  *-fbsd@ aliases cover specific arch-testing, while bsd@ covers maintaining everything.

Its just due to this indirection I managed to not CC the right teams in some former keyword requests :(.

Can both sets of aliases be mentioned?

You seem to be confusing profiles and arches.  Did you CC me for arch testing amd64 on 17.1 profiles? ;-P

> Can both sets of aliases be mentioned?

I don't really care.  Gentoo/FreeBSD is dead anyway, so whether you mail one, the other or the pope himself, nothing's gonna happen.

Its just there isn't currently a better file for this data, so profiles.desc contains a /defacto/ set of metadata allowing you to correlate arch and profile.

If there's a better file for this I've overlooked, I'm all ears.

Sure, probably. I just like to make sure at least _I_ took reasonable steps to informing whoever might care, and give them some time to respond.

If they don't, that's on them :)

Its self-imposed bureaucracy I guess.

You're really supposed to use arch chooser from bugzilla.

I have tooling that spits out all the CC's I need (well, it was _supposed_ to), because the frequent large keyword reqs I do tended towards having problems mentally transferring the data to a stupid user interface.

Clearly _how_ that works on my side needs to be improved, but I'm not sure which data-source I should use to improve that.

I just told you.  That little list is reference source of arches, arch teams and whether they have stable keywords.

Maybe I can phrase it differently:

Is there a web-accessible URL I can point something like `curl` at and get a JSON mapping or something?

Or is hand-transferring it from the web-page about as good as I'm gonna get?

*-fbsd is gone.
