-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Please unblock package racket [ Reason ] The current version of racket in testing has extremely slow startup on non-amd64 platforms. The reporter of #1085959 reported 60x improvement with the fix 8.16+dfsg1-3 (on arm64). My own experience is about a 90x speedup for startup. [ Impact ] For many users the slow startup will make racket unusable on non-amd64 platforms. I did notice that after it started up, it was fairly responsive. The workaround mentioned in the bug is fairly easy (just editing a config file), but users would have to figure that out / find the bug log. [ Tests ] I have tested the upgrade manually and with piuparts. I have also tested that the new package has decent performance. All of these were performed on amd64 and arm64 bare hardware running Debian testing (amd64) or unstable (arm64). [ Risks ] The diff is small, but it does involve maintainer scripts, and adding a versioned breaks / replaces. Racket is almost a leaf package; there is one package that depends on it (minlog) but that dependency says guile will work as well. [ 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 ] I'm still waiting for the mips64el, riscv64, and ppc64 autobuilders, but I wanted to file this before I forget. unblock racket/8.16+dfsg1-3 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEARYIAB0WIQS5beC2erx2PFqyC7XhcL+0NDTnAAUCaFg98QAKCRDhcL+0NDTn AH7DAP471VHz7cmch7knVdkhb+ozTWUphHzCDSnQj+DFbdy8twD/WzZdQzzedEZQ k44xwQPAxGeF/C+J2WJenZO5ncpNxw8= =/MNl -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
