Re: src:tzdata: fails to migrate to testing for too long
Hello.
One of the reasons tzdata will not migrate to testing is that it has an
artificial bug preventing it from doing so:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1084190
In my opinion (after reporting several tzdata-related bugs
and also fixing some of them), the breakage introduced by tzdata
is very small compared with the one introduced by gcc-14
(which generated 800 FTBFS bugs), and AFAIK there was not
any bug against gcc-14 saying "gcc-14 breaks many packages".
So: Could some Release Manager evaluate if we really need Bug #1084190
at this point?
Maybe we could just rely on existing autopkgtests to determine
if it's the right time for tzdata to propagate to testing or not.
(Cc: to Rebecca who reported the blocking bug and also to the
tzdata maintainers).
Thanks.
