Re: +1 Maintenance report 23-27 May 2022

And I forgot to mention:

astroquery
========

I added a patch to fix the permission denied on accessing files here : https://launchpad.net/~alexghiti/+archive/ubuntu/riscv/+sourcepub/13638113/+listing-archive-extra
There is no obvious reason in the link above but when launched locally, the error was not the same and may be more helpful:

vals = ['9048843364125']

def generic_converter(vals):
 > return numpy.array(vals, numpy_type)
E OverflowError: Python int too large to convert to C long

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/astropy/io/ascii/core.py:1004: OverflowError

I won't have time to follow up on this though.

Thanks,

Alex

Hi,

I was on +1 maintenance last week, below what I worked on:

netdata
======

It was a simple sync since Debian merged the patch that I had added previously. This was uploaded by @Graham Inggs .

node-gulp-coffee
=============

node-gulp-coffee timeouts on tests on arm64 only, I increased the timeout and the tests passed. This was uploaded by @Graham Inggs .

libgpg-error
=========

It regressed on i386 because debian removed the test directive "skip-not-installable". Indeed, Ubuntu i386 autopkgtest runners actually run on amd64 and use multi-arch which then used to trigger amd64 tests on for i386 builds which then failed. This was fixed by @Lukas Märdian here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgpg-error/+bug/1975673. But as explained in the bug report, the i386 test still fails: this is because autopkgtest tries to install gcc-mingw-w64-i686:i386 which does not exist, gcc-mingw-w64-i686:all does though. Either a fix is needed in autopkgtest in order to fallback to :all when :$arch does not, or I was told that this package could be missing Multi-Arch: foreign field. Anyway, I'm still working on this.

aqsis
====

aqsis FTBFS on armhf because Debian had support for qt5 and armhf qt5 libraries lack support for some OpenGL functions: indeed, armhf qt5 libraries use the OpenGL ES 2.0 mode (qtbase-opensource-src-5.15.4+dfsg/debian/rules), which is only a subset of OpenGL 2.0 and does not contain the missing functions (https://www.khronos.org/registry/OpenGL/specs/es/2.0/es_cm_spec_2.0.pdf).
And it regressed on i386 because the last build for this arch was removed from release: I added a Britney hint to make it pass (Thanks @Graham Inggs for this).

This was uploaded by @Graham Inggs.

dropbear
=======

dropbear regressed on all archs because of the following issues:

- mkdir fail because ~/.ssh already exists => use mkdir -p
- tests find the installed kernel by matching kernel packages suffixed by -$arch (like Debian does) whereas in Ubuntu they are suffixed by -generic
- mmdebstrap fails because the sources.list was grepped against 'Origin: Debian' => change that for 'Origin: Ubuntu'

The package built successfully in my PPA and I locally validated that autopkgtest passes on amd64 but I had to increase the memory size of the VM, I'll add this package to big_packages too. @Graham Inggs just told me that autopkgtest failed on armhf for another reason, I'll fix that and ask for uploading: I'm still working on this.

That's it,

Thanks,

Alex
