In the unlike case that there are multiple removal hints, showing
the first valid hint should be sufficient.

Doing this means that you can't use the hint tester for packages with
uppercase characters in the version, e.g.
Version mismatch, dreamchess 0.2.1-rc2-2build1 != 0.2.1-RC2-2build1

This fixes commit 497edc to really allow policies to see if the excuse has

Coverage suggests that the conditions are always true. If so, we can
replace the "elif" with a regular "if" - but for now, lets keep an

Add a check to ensure we do not create broken test data (as happened
recently, where the architecture values were swapped for a single
binary). A cold hard failure like this is easier to debug
compared to Britney playing "garbage in, garbage out".

Add some "no cover" to some unrecoverable exceptions
(e.g. misconfiguration) or base-class methods that are not intended to

This gives Policies the opportunity to see if a previous check
(build/installability) or earlier policies already invalidated the update. This
allows writing policies that work on groups of packages, or skipping expensive
checks (such as triggering autopkgtests while the package is not built or
installable yet).

Why duplicate that in the configuration when Britney can just pull it
in the Release file for testing? :)

It is unwieldy to have one half of output data generation in the policy but not
the other half of updating the excuse. Now that apply_policy() gets the excuse
object as argument we can move everything there.

This allows tests to check whether there are any missing builds or old
binaries, so that expensive actions such as "trigger an autopkgtest" are not
done too early/in vain.
Signed-off-by: Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net>
For future policies such as running autopkgtests it is important to know
whether a package has built, so that expensive actions such as "trigger an
autopkgtest" are not done too early/in vain.
This requires dropping the "age != 0" check for adding the out-of-date-ness to
the Excuse, as the policies now run later. But this check only applied to an
infinitesimal age, and even with age == 0 it is still a valid excuse that there
are missing binaries.

FAILED/SUCCESS lines would be separated by a whitespace from the list
of architectures, but not itself followed by whitespace. This is slightly
confusing, as one could interpret it as being a heading for the following
block of tested packages, rather that the final result of the previous
block.
This includes refining "HINTS_ALL" to cover all hints added at
runtime.
Currently, it is not very useful. However, a later commit will allow
policies to use this feature.

This hint will block all "new" source migrations. Source migrations
for packages already in testing will be affected by this. As usual,
this hint can be overruled by an unblock hint.

Reduce a "loop over all valid items" to a "loop over an item's
dependencies + reverse dependencies". For sparse graphs, this
is much more efficient.

python-apt's "TagFile" seems to cut the field short if it meets a

Packages in main should not need them. Presuming we eventually make
Britney enforce separation between components, "non-free" seems like a

If there is a regression in "present-and-installable" constraints (on
non-break architectures), then discard the item even if the nuninst
counters have improved.
Signed-off-by: Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net>
For (non-hint) migrations, split the set of affected into two
parts; one for reverse dependencies and one "negative dependencies"
(e.g. Conflicts).
If there are only regressions in the nuninst after checking the first
set, then there is no reason to continue with the second set (as
"negative dependencies" can only make it worse at that point).

Ideally we would reject all items with known unsatisfiable
dependencies as they would not be installable in testing. However,
there are a few known corner cases where we still want to migrate them
(notably when they are already broken in testing).
This commit is an attempt to weed out some of the "obviously" broken
items that will not successfully migrate.

In an architecture only migration, we currently see two notes for
every arch:all packages:
* Ignoring "new" arch:all package
* Ignoring "removal" of arch:all package
But a closer look at the situation is that the arch:all packages is
generally the same in both testing and the source suite.
This commit removes these notes when the arch:all is the same in both
suites.
