[New-bugs-announce] [issue13225] Failing packaging hooks should not stop operation

[Éric Araujo]

New submission from Éric Araujo <merwok at netwok.org>:

As discussed in #11637, failing hooks should not stop operation.  I see different issues:

a) a hook is not found
b) a hook is not callable
c) a hook raises an exception

Current code will raise a Packaging exception for a) and b), and let the exception propagate in case of c).  I have a patch that makes Packaging ignore all three kinds and issue warning or error logging messages.

An option (--strict) would be needed to switch from logging messages to exceptions; I wonder if an elegant way to do that would be a custom logging handler.
