Description Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2019-01-07 23:23:31 UTC
sys-apps/man is masked for removal. Please keyword sys-apps/man-db to replace it.

> sys-apps/man is masked for removal.

I've reverted the mask for now since amd64-fbsd has a "stable" profile. I will mask again once man-db has keywords.

Could you please help me a bit and include complete list of dependencies?
Comment 3 Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2019-01-09 14:12:19 UTC
Oh, well, nevermind, that won't make much of a difference either.  I'll need to fight repoman myself here.

Gone as far as I could, po4a is blocked by #675002.

An automated check of this bug failed - repoman reported dependency errors:

If this is not resolved within 30 days, I would propose we drop the stable profile for amd64-fbsd. Nobody can actually test on that platform, and the project consisted of exactly one active developer.

Infra has a VM running, you are free to ask for access.
Comment 8 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2019-01-17 01:44:02 UTC
I made an attempt to troubleshoot the issue with po4a on the VM. I spent a few hours on it, and I'm not inclined to invest any more effort.

I see 3 paths forward:

1. Ignore the test failures and keyword the necessary packages.

2. Fix the test failures in po4a.

3. If neither of the above occurs withing the next 30 days, I will demote amd64-fbsd to experimental.

*-fbsd is gone.
