Currently, britney only schedules reference runs when they don't exist. It does
strip out runs against older versions of the autopkgtest, but the current version
may exist for a while and the reference run can be old. So, add an option to
ignore old results.
When the architecture are read from the Release file, they are not
defined in the config file.
Adding 'all' as an architecture will not give the correct result. To
avoid confusion, explicitly check for this and error out if it is added.
We only want to add packages which conflict in testing, but don't
conflict in unstable. For those, the newer version (from unstable)
probably fixes the conflict.
When an arch:all binary is uninstallable on a non-nobreakall arch, don't
block it, but still mark it as uninstallable, so the autopkgtest policy
knows not to schedule tests for it.
Currently when a package is uninstallable on an arch, no autopkgtests for that arch are triggered
and the autopkgtest policy blocks migration. However it's not the job of the autopkgtest policy
to judge uninstallability and packages that build an arch:all package that just isn't installable
on the autopkgtest arch should not be blocked for this.
Closes: #918620
Use the info based on the binaries in the Suite object, instead of the
inst_tester. This should also include packages that are in testing, but
are not installable.
Rework the dependencies between excuses.
Dependencies are specified based on packages (source or binary). Based
on these packages, dependencies on other excuses (that have these
packages) are calculated.
As with package dependencies, dependencies between excuses can contain
alternatives.
Each alternative can satisfy the dependency, so the excuse only becomes
invalid if all of the alternatives of a specific dependency are
invalidated.
Tracking of the alternatives and their validity is moved to separate
objects.
Adding a source parameter to the SourcePackage allow finding the source
the object is referring to, so that parameter doesn't have to be passed
along separately.
