Should we just "fix it on the master > branch?" Your weather summary is a great idea, thanks! As I said in my previous email, the armhf substitutes are not built right now on the CI. It's really sad but we have to make an impossible choice between: * Trying to build everything on all architecture and have the CI that is awfully lagging behind. * Restrict the number of architecture we want to provide substitutes for. Thanks, Mathieu
