help to further delineate features of the swampland [@swamp], and also gives support to the conjecture that the number of string vacua passing the most basic of physical cuts is finite [@Ooguri], [@finite].

It is expected that the situation changes after supersymmetry is broken (and the vacua are uplifted to de Sitter (dS) space), because then moduli fields may acquire masses that in principle could be much larger than the cosmological constant. Flux compactifications offer several mechanisms for supersymmetry breaking. In the type IIB context, the main mechanism that uplifts the AdS vacua to dS space is the one proposed in [@Kachru] by using anti-branes. This is close to the local models of [@kpv]. In [@Aganagic],[@Heckman] it was proposed that a system of branes and anti-branes on the resolved conifold is holographically dual to a flux configuration with appropriate sign flips on the deformed conifold. The advantage of the dual formulation is that supersymmetry can be broken spontaneously to ${\cal N}=0$ in terms of only fluxes. One may wonder if supersymmetry can be broken spontaneously for the compact models considered herein. In the type IIA context, such a mechanism was considered in [@vandoren].
