The source-2.5.x / source-3.x legs build CUPS and libcupsfilters from OpenPrinting @master, an unpinned moving target; a transient breakage there reddens the leg with no libppd fault. Mark those legs continue-on-error so they no longer block PRs, while the distro system-2x leg stays required. ci-setup.sh now annotates each failure as UPSTREAM-DEP-FAILED or LIBPPD-FAILED so a real libppd regression on the non-blocking legs is still visible.

What
The build matrix's
source-2.5.xandsource-3.xlegs build CUPS and libcupsfilters fromOpenPrinting/*@master— an unpinned moving target. A transient breakage upstream (e.g. libcups master failing its ownmake install) reddens those legs through no fault of libppd. Concrete case: PR #78'ssource-3.xlegs went red on 2026-07-15, but the identical commit passed 12/12 when merged to master the next day — same libppd code, only the libcups-master snapshot differed.This makes the source-
@masterlegs non-blocking on PRs while keeping the signal:build.yml: job-levelcontinue-on-error: ${{ matrix.cups != 'system-2x' }}— thesource-2.5.x/source-3.xlegs no longer fail the run; the distrosystem-2xleg stays required (blocking).ci/ci-setup.sh: anEXIT-trap classifier labels each failure asUPSTREAM-DEP-FAILED(building the CUPS/libcupsfilters stack) vsLIBPPD-FAILED(libppd build/test), so a genuine libppd regression on a non-blocking leg is still visible at a glance. Same script drives native and emulated legs, so both are covered.Why
Keeps the multi-CUPS-against-master coverage (catches real upstream breakage early) without letting transient upstream reds block unrelated PRs.
Validation
Full 12-combo matrix (4 arches × {system-2x, source-2.5.x, source-3.x}) green on the branch.
