Re: Removal from testing / what's blocking our transition?



Hi Christian,

to boil down to llvm-toolchain-17 blocking migration of

   * rocm-compilersupport [3]
   * rocm-device-libs [4],
but I'm not sure why. llvm-toolchain-17 is in testing [5].

I think this is due to the time_t 64-bit transition. 1:17.0.6-5 is in testing and 1:17.0.6-9 is on unstable. The *t64 binary packages are only on unstable (e.g. libc++1-17t64). The ROCm packages likely depend on those.

At the moment, the LLVM 17 transition is blocked by the migration of python3-defaults (3.11.6-1 to 3.11.8-1) [6]. I'm not an expert, but I could I imagine that migrating Python to the 64-bit time_t may be a difficult process given how large the Python ecosystem is and how much it depends on C extensions.

Sincerely,
Cory Bloor
