libbio-samtools-perl migrated in testing despite build-dependancy libbam-dev is not available there.
Dear release team
I just realised that libbio-samtools-perl migrated in testing despite that its
build-dependancy libbam-dev is not available there.
libbam-dev contains a static library built with -fPIC, and since some people
raised concerns about security on -devel, that were not contradicted by the
release or security teams, I opened a RC bug against it to prevent its
migration to testing. I wonder if I overreacted.
I hesitate between two possibilities:
- libbio-samtools-perl could be removed from Testing and I could open a dummy
RC bug against it to keep it in Sid.
- I could close the RC bug on libbam-dev, allowing it to migrate in Testing.
This is actually the solution I would favor, because I think I over-reacted
when opening this bug, but I would prefer to have your green light before.
Have a nice day,
