Source: libguestfs
Version: 1:1.40.2-2
Severity: important
Control: block 1018076 by -1
It is looking as though gjs will need to drop support for the armel
architecture soon, when it switches from being based on mozjs91 to
mozjs102 (due to armel's lack of atomic instructions, #1017979).
libguestfs is one of a few packages that build-depends on gjs for a
test suite. Please could you mark this as [!armel] so that libguestfs
will still be buildable after the transition to mozjs102? This is similar
to what happened in 2018 with s390x (#910287).
gjs seems to work OK on s390x now, so you could either use
gjs [!armel] <!nocheck>
for better test coverage on s390x, or
gjs [!armel !s390x] <!nocheck>
to avoid needing to take action if s390x regresses again. It's up to
you which one you prefer.
If there hasn't been an upload of libguestfs with this change by the time
transition #1018076 is ready to go ahead, then libguestfs will have to
either be NMU'd or have an architecture-specific removal from armel.
Thanks,

It looks like this is no longer needed: Adrian Bunk and Mike Hommey were
able to get mozjs102/gjs working on armel, so we are hoping to have gjs
available on all release architectures for Debian 12. See #1018076 for
more details.
