A better alternative to having builds of main-armv7-default fully disabled and last-built be months out of date

main's armv7 packages that are distributed are getting to be months behind because of the build hangups preventing the builds on ampere2. The hangups happen just-after graphics/graphviz installation during the activity in a builder where that build depends on graphics/graphviz . I expect that the armv7 "bulk -a" builds on ampere2 would complete if the Makefile for graphics/graphviz had: BROKEN_armv7= leads to ampere2 build hangups for builds that depended on graphics/graphviz A related subset of the packages would not be built at all. But that is better for security and such than the official packages that are available being systematically months out of date, at least in my view. I suggest trying the chnage and enabling main-armv7-default builds to see if they complete overall. I'll note that there is a hostorical example of a graphics/giflib build failure that lead to 3481 ports not being built, including graphics/graphviz . But the "bulk -a" completed and 24176 packages built and were distributed. graphics/graphviz having BROKEN_armv7 should generaelly build more packages than that when graphics/giflib builds okay. === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com
