This week I did my +1 maintenance shift. I was swamped with other
unrelated, high priority work so it was a bit tricky to juggle
everything.
I like to start from the bottom of update_excuses and choose some of the
more challenging FTBFSes. schopin also pinged me about some FTBFSes
that were caused by the upcoming glibc transition, and on Friday I was
pinged by Christian who asked me to take a look at the
device-tree-compiler FTBFS.
Investigations
==============
* yotta
- Blocked by python-mbed-ls. See below.
- Now unblocked.
* python-mbed-ls
- Submitted fix upstream: https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os-tools/pull/288
- Uploaded fix to Debian.
- Ubuntu package has been removed
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-mbed-ls/+bug/2049255).
We might want to reintroduce it now that the problem has been fixed.
- That's been done.
* jool
- Sync'ed package from Debian, which fixed the issue.
* zmap
- Fixed the issue with the Debian package (which is severely outdated,
but that's a problem for another day/person), uploaded it. The
fix should reach Ubuntu soon.
- Done.
* taurus
- Fixed the package in Debian. Should reach Ubuntu soon.
- Done.
* taurus-pyqtgraph
- Fixed indirectly by taurus.
* r-bioc-savr
- There's an RM bug against the package on Debian. I didn't touch the
FTBFS.
* tiledarray
- btas builds correctly on Debian/Ubuntu now.
- I spent a considerable amount of time playing with
btas/blaspp/tiledarray and trying to make the latter compile. I was
able to pass the cmake configuration stage (after patching btas),
but unfortunately tiledarray's build fails during the compilation
phase. I decided to move on.
* celery
- Spent a long time investigating the Python 3.12 segfault that
happens when running dh_auto_test. I was able to obtain a usable
stacktrace.
- I'll file an upstream bug.
* h5py
- Filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/h5py/+bug/2051291
- There's an upstream bug filed against it.
* dolphin-emu
- Found upstream patch to fix FTBFS. Applied to the Ubuntu package
and uploaded.
- Fixed.
* blobwar
- Fixed & uploaded to Ubuntu. Upstream is dead and the Debian package
is pretty much orphaned.
* repowerd
- Investigated a bit. I can build the package locally but it fails to
build on LP due to dh_missing complaining.
* device-tree-compiler
- Got a request to take a look at this one.
- Found the reason for the FTBFS, but couldn't find a proper way to
fix it.
- Filed https://github.com/dgibson/dtc/issues/123
- Filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/device-tree-compiler/+bug/2051399
- I'll keep an eye during the weekend. If there's any movement
upstream, I'll upload a fix. Otherwise, I'll patch the Ubuntu
package and adjust the expected output of the failing tests.
