Package: release.debian.org User: [email protected] Usertags: unblock Severity: normal
Please unblock LDC 1:1.1.1-1. The LDC package as well as its reverse dependencies have been caught by an unfortunate bug which made builds fail on ppc64el, leaving us the choice to drop this architecture to have things migrate, or wait and fix it. The issue has been fixed for a while, but not as quickly as expected, with the unfortunate consequence that we now have a Beta compiler in the release. Having LDC migrate has no known issues, and would instead fix a couple of huge bugs in Stretch's version of LDC, leading to bad ABI on ppc64el or it straight-up not compiling some code. See also my mail to the release-team mailinglist outlining this issue a while back: https://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2017/01/msg00592.html Thank you for considering this! Kind regards, Matthias unblock ldc/1:1.1.1-1
