Bug#1071197: ninja-build: 1.12 breaks chromium build

[Andres Salomon]

Package: ninja-build
Version: 1.12.1-1
Severity: serious
Tags: affects -1 chromium
X-Debbugs-Cc: Andres Salomon <dilin...@queued.net>

I've also verified in a sid chroot that 1.12.1-1 fails to build chromium




Thanks,
Andres

Chromium in unstable breaks with ninja-build 1.12. See here for example, where the same chromium version (124.0.6367.201-1) built fine on architectures where older ninja-build was available, but failed on newer ninja-build: 124.0.6367.207, but if I downgrade ninja-build to 1.11.1-2 then that same version of chromium successfully builds. I'll be investigating further to see if I can figure out whether the problem is a bug in chromium, gn, or ninja (and reassign accordingly if necessary). But in the meantime, I don't think it's a good idea for ninja-build to migrate to trixie just yet (hence the severity).
