Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: unblock X-Debbugs-Cc: j...@debian.org
Please unblock package python-apt [ Reason ] Want to bump version number to stable series versioning, mostly, update the mirror list, and remove invalid PIE disablement which triggers build failures in downstreams (it fails with LTO; I think it's a no-op without LTO either way, or at least supposed to be, given that we link with -fPIC). Don't really care much about the build dependency !nocheck annotations, but they were already queued. Could revert them if needed. [ Impact ] Mirror selection in tools will be from December 2020. [ Tests ] We have unit tests run at build time, but there are no code changes, just metadata and build flags. [ Risks ] I'm not sure the PIE change does much really, the code is linked with -fPIC, the annotations could trigger bootstrapping issues, but it's not working right now anyway so meh. [ Checklist ] [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing [ Other info ] (Anything else the release team should know.) unblock python-apt/2.2.0 -- debian developer - deb.li/jak | jak-linux.org - free software dev ubuntu core developer i speak de, en
