Ubuntu +1 Maintenance Report (May 21, )

Hi All,

Welcome to the +1 Maintenance Team's [1] reports again.
The proposed migration queue is greener, but Perl still did not get through.
For more detailed current status please check [3].

* In my shift many autopkgtests were still running which gave the
opportunity for improving retry-autopkgtest-regressions from
ubuntu-archive-tools to not trigger running/queued tests again and
also find intermittent issues and trigger them [4]. I'm looking
forward not having to go through logs manually to find out that the
test failure was due to a temporal network issue because cron/a
systemd timer already did that for me and retriggered the test!

* With Ubuntu 20.04 dropping Bazaar git-remote-bzr stopped working
without any replacement LP: #1869231. That made working with Bazaar
repositories even more painful for people working primarily with git.
Ubuntu-archive-tools is still in Bazaar, so I've recreated my Bionic
setup for converting repos and offered a migrated repo [5].

* To help others working on the next Ubuntu release I went through the
sponsorship queue [6] and sponsored the non-SRU uploads which seemed
to have stalled:
freecad LP: #1754084 - marked as invalid
bluebird-gtk-theme LP: #1836975 - sponsored
django-piston3 LP: #1842043 - sponsored
kpatch LP: #1837886 - already fixed
ovn LP: #1853431 - already fixed
friendly-recovery - merged lp:~debian-janitor/friendly-recovery/lintian-fixes
qalculate-gtk LP: #1862546 - deferred sync from experimental to wait
for the transition to take place in Debian first
openscap LP: #1851682 - sponsored
synaptic LP: #1870900 - marked as incomplete, sync can't be done
because of FTBFS
installation-guide - merged lp:~dsmythies/installation-guide/ubuntu-20.04
gammu LP: #1874554 - sponsored via Debian

Thanks to everyone joining Ubuntu's development. If you can't upload
packages yet to the archive please use the sponsorship process [7] to
propose fixes. I hope the infrastructure improvements also help making
contribution easier and more fun.

Cheers,
Balint
