+1 maintenance status − June 4-5

Hello everyone,

I was on +1 maintenance shift this Thursday and Friday. This was my first time doing this, so a part of my shift was spent reading documentation, and getting familiar with the tools and processes. Many thanks to seb128 for mentoring me through it.
Following is a summary of what I did in terms of actual +1 maintenance:

  * metis/i386: submitted a MR to add a force-badtest hint (https://code.launchpad.net/~osomon/britney/hints-ubuntu-i386-badtests/+merge/385113)
  * fonts-dejavu: the transitional packages were removed, but a number of rdepends still listed them, so I went through all of them and filed bugs and submitted patches where relevant:
    * enigma-data: attached patch to https://bugs.debian.org/921469
    * 0ad: not needed
    * frogatto-data: already done in 1.3.1+dfsg-2, needs releasing
    * astromenace: filed https://bugs.debian.org/962195 and submitted https://salsa.debian.org/games-team/astromenace/-/merge_requests/1
    * zatacka (https://bugs.debian.org/961863): submitted https://github.com/alexdantas/zatacka.debian/pull/3
    * xmoto-data (https://bugs.debian.org/946057): already done in 0.6.0+repack-1, currently in unstable (and in groovy-proposed)
    * singularity: filed https://bugs.debian.org/962196 and attached patch
    * scilab-test: filed https://bugs.debian.org/962198 and submitted https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/scilab/-/merge_requests/4

    * plymouth-theme-hamara: not needed
    * natbraille: filed https://bugs.debian.org/962201 and submitted https://salsa.debian.org/a11y-team/natbraille/-/merge_requests/1
    * miceamaze: not needed
    * manaplus-data: filed https://bugs.debian.org/962207 and attached patch
    * libgazebo-dev: already done in 11.0.0+dfsg1-3
    * icewm: not needed
    * castle-game-engine-doc (https://bugs.debian.org/961602): submitted https://salsa.debian.org/pascal-team/castle-game-engine/-/merge_requests/1
    * blobwars-data: filed https://bugs.debian.org/962210 and attached patch
    * blobandconquer-data: filed https://bugs.debian.org/962211 and attached patch
    * mythtv*: filed https://launchpad.net/bugs/1882108 and submitted https://github.com/MythTV/packaging/pull/78
    * wmforkplop (https://bugs.debian.org/861191): already done in 0.9.3-2.2 (uploaded to DELAYED/7 on 1st June)
  * fontforge FTBFS on s390x (preventing libreoffice from building there): https://bugs.debian.org/961841, identified and tested upstream commit that fixes the build (https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge/commit/fde85b13382595cb3ab889e38570b4944edad808), and later realized that that commit has already been cherry-picked in salsa (https://salsa.debian.org/fonts-team/fontforge/-/commit/ad2b5f648241de5920a6f7f738dea091290a0af0), it is now pending a release
  * r-cran-gwidgetstcltk test failures (blocking xorg-server): filed https://bugs.debian.org/962280 and submitted https://salsa.debian.org/r-pkg-team/r-cran-gwidgetstcltk/-/merge_requests/1
  * glade/i386 test failures (badpkg) blocking gdk-pixbuf 2.40.0+dfsg-5: ran the tests locally and they passed, so I asked seb128 to re-trigger, and it succeeded

Have a good week-end,
