Throw away binaries for uploads to BACKPORTS-NEW
Hi all,
Thanks to the initiative of Jochen Sprickerhof, the ftp-masters have merged a change to the Debian configuration of DAK that will enable a feature to throw away binaries after processing of the BACKPORTS-NEW queue [1]. The benefit is that all binary packages (in main) will get built by the Debian buildds before we distribute them within the archive. Packages in contrib, non-free and non-free-firmware will not benefit this change for technical reasons (see [2] for a more detailed explanation).
Please reach out to me if details are still not clear after reading the wiki.
Enjoy, Micha
