Source: exempi Version: 2.6.1-2 Severity: serious Control: close -1 2.6.2-1 Tags: sid bookworm User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org Usertags: out-of-sync Control: block -1 by 1014061 Dear maintainer(s),The Release Team considers packages that are out-of-sync between testing and unstable for more than 60 days as having a Release Critical bug in testing [1]. Your package src:exempi has been trying to migrate for 62 days [2]. Hence, I am filing this bug. Your package failed to build from source on s390x while it built the successfully in the past. Reported in bug 1014061.If a package is out of sync between unstable and testing for a longer period, this usually means that bugs in the package in testing cannot be fixed via unstable. Additionally, blocked packages can have impact on other packages, which makes preparing for the release more difficult. Finally, it often exposes issues with the package and/or its (reverse-)dependencies. We expect maintainers to fix issues that hamper the migration of their package in a timely manner.This bug will trigger auto-removal when appropriate. As with all new bugs, there will be at least 30 days before the package is auto-removed.I have immediately closed this bug with the version in unstable, so if that version or a later version migrates, this bug will no longer affect testing. I have also tagged this bug to only affect sid and bookworm, so it doesn't affect (old-)stable.If you believe your package is unable to migrate to testing due to issues beyond your control, don't hesitate to contact the Release Team.Paul [1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2020/02/msg00005.html [2] https://qa.debian.org/excuses.php?package=exempi
As you are probably aware, this issue is known and tracked in [1]. The package FTBFS after enabling the test suite. I raised this issue upstream but there is no real interest/motivation [2] on their part to address these (most likely endianess related) issues.
So I informed the s390x porters as well but got not feedback so far.To me it seems it's better to not continue ship a known broken package on s390x and think a partial architecture removal is probably the better alternative.
Let me know what you think Michael [1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1014061[2] https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libopenraw/exempi/-/issues/23#note_1448295
