Bug#832161: can't run
I just downloaded gposmaster 0.64.02 and the jar runs fine on current debian stable: java -jar GpsMaster_0.64.02.jar It does look like a nice package and I agree it has a nicer interface that either GPSprune or qmapshack. I will use it a bit more to see if it really provides enough advantage over the other tools available. It is quite easy to use unpackaged, but as no-one else has got far with this in the last 8 years, I might give it a packaging go sometime if the UI advantages and packaging effort align.

Bug#1068288: openjdk-21: bootstrap builds required on armel and armhf
I have bootstrapped openjdk-21 on armhf (via profile nocheck builds for openjdk-20 and 21). This was slow as each build is about 5 hours on the softiron machine I have to hand. jtreg6/7 (which does the tests) being uninstallable until you've got a version of java built against the t64 libraries is why I needed to first build DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck dpkg-buildpackage -B -Pnocheck -d and then dpkg-buildpackage -B Uploaded just now. For armel I will follow doko's suggestion of building -21 normally in testing then use those binaries to build in unstable as it's only 2 builds, not 3.

We need the same for openjdk-21. Yes. I had a look at this. I was hoping to use the openjdk-17 to allow building of openjdk-21. But it doesn't 'just work', because: checking for version string... 21.0.3-ea+7-Debian-1 configure: Found potential Boot JDK using configure arguments configure: Potential Boot JDK found at /usr/lib/jvm/java-17-openjdk-armhf is incorrect JDK version (openjdk version "17.0.11-ea" 2024-04-16 OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 17.0.11-ea+7-Debian-1) OpenJDK Server VM (build 17.0.11-ea+7-Debian-1, mixed mode, sharing)); ignoring configure: (Your Boot JDK version must be one of: 20 21) configure: error: The path given by --with-boot-jdk does not contain a valid Boot JDK Now what I'm not sure is whether openjdk-21 _actually_ needs openjdk 20 (or 21), or if it just needs 'java', and has been set to '20 or 21' for reasons of being able to drop -17 in due course. Nor where these things are configured. If it _does_ need -20, then can I build -20 with -17 or -19 with -17 and so on? The advantage of going straight to -21 is that it's not in the archive already and 'just' needs a binary build. and also -21 has had its build-deps modified for t64 dependencies. -20 and -19 haven't been -20 needs -19 (and jtreg7 but one can use -Pnocheck) -19 needs -18 (and jtreg6 but one can use -Pnocheck) So right now I'm not sure what the easiest path is. Can I actually just build -21 with -17 if I can persuade the build system, or will something important break with that much version-skew? can I build -19 with -17 (and appropriate t64 dep updates) (-18 is no longer in the archive so I really hope we don't need to go 18,19,20,21 Clues welcome on the best approach.

Answering my own question: There have been a couple of new openjdk-17 uploads (latest is: 17_17.0.11~7ea-1) so Thorsten's bootstrap build (17.0.10+7-1) is out of date. But it does a great job of filling the self-dependency so I can build the current version. So I now have all the pieces (on armhf, not checked armel yet but hopefully it matches) Building now...

What was the actual problem with uploading the images you built? Just not having any corresponding source? Or something more complicated? It seems to me you've done all the hard work - we just need to work out how to get those packages into the archive. Maybe that needs a rebuild with corresponding source? Although if we already have the source just making a new changes file with all the right piece in should be enough, should it not? or am I missing something?

I looked at this last week, but got stuck because openjdk-17's build-deps included graphviz which was also uninstallable and led to another blocked chain with ghostscript,cups and libgtk2 conflicting about their t64 status. Checking again now, apt still complains: The following packages have unmet dependencies: apt : Depends: libgnutls30 (>= 3.8.1) but it is not going to be installed libasound2t64 : Breaks: libasound2 (< 1.2.11-1) but 1.2.10-3 is to be installed libcups2 : Depends: libgnutls30 (>= 3.8.1) but it is not going to be installed libcups2t64 : Breaks: libcups2 (< 2.4.7-1.2) but 2.4.7-1+b1 is to be installed libnettle8t64 : Breaks: libnettle8 (< 3.9.1-2.2) but 3.9.1-2 is to be installed But dose now says there is a solution, unlike last week. So it should be possible to get the dependencies in place (without unreasonable jiggery-pokery) and bootstrap it. I'll have another go tomorrow. > Or do maintainers of packages that build both a C/C++ library and Java > bindings from a single source package need to disable its Java bindings > on the affected architectures, either temporarily or permanently? Some of that might still be expedient, but hopefully we can get a t64 java soon and it won't be necessary.

This library is packaged as a dependency of cavewhere. But cavewhere has not yet been uploaded to the archive. It's quite specific and thus has no other reverse dependencies, so in fact it has no dependencies and is currently effectively unused in the archive. Thus there is no need to rename it as part of this transition. A rebuild when it's dependencies (qtbase5-dev, qtbase5-private-dev, qtdeclarative5-dev) are uploaded would be sufficient. I will try and get it to pass the abi-checker and see if it actually changes ABI or not. I suspect not, but qt is complicated so it's possible.

Bug#1008135: ITP: libbacktrace -- Backtrace library (for C/C++ apps)
I packaged this as a ststic library, but it's policy to provide a dynamic library too if appropriate. So I asked upstream about this. The discussion took place primarily as an upstream github issue: https://github.com/ianlancetaylor/libbacktrace/issues/85 Here is a summary: Wookey: Firstly, I see that it only builds a static library. Is that a technical limitation to do with the backtracing or the way it is intended to be used, (or something to do with there being no ABI-stability guarantees like libiberty) or just a 'no-one asked for a dynamic version yet' thing? Obviously in distro-world we'd normally build a dynamic version (and a static version) and use them as required. So I'm just wondering if there is a reason why I shouldn't do that? Ian Lance taylor: I would be a bit surprised if libbacktrace works as a dynamic library, but maybe it does. I haven't tried it. Discussion continued in issue #85 on github: https://github.com/ianlancetaylor/libbacktrace/issues/85 Ian Lance taylor: The libbacktrace library explicitly supports being invoked from a signal handler, but that most likely won't work if it is linked in as a dynamic library. So in normal use, without additional information, it should be linked statically. My concern is that lazy PLT calls may not work reliably if invoked via a signal handler. I don't know whether this concern is completely valid. It can be obviated by using `-Wl,-z,now` when linking. Carlos Galvez also asked about dynamic linking the library from Boost.Stacktrace, so there are other possible users. (end of summary) It's easy to build the dynamic version of the library as well, but I'm not yet sure if that's a good idea for the debian package, as we use -z,relro by default in debian. I will uploaded a dynamic-only version for now as this has already stalled for more than a year.

Bug#972525: sbuild randomly fails to sign changes file despite valid signature keys
I've been seeing this regularly, and getting hundreds of 'dupload failed' emails as a result (they get sent every 5 mins now after it goes wrong). I've not been keeping records, (because I just bin those hundreds of emails) but it happens most weeks, and I've had two this week (opencv and gnuradio) I'll start collecting info here to see if we can narrow this down a bit. So, latest is opencv_4.6.0+dfsg-13.1~exp1_armel built for experimental on arm-ubc-06 the changes file is Feb 4 03:29 Looking in the build logs I see it was built and uploaded successfully 3hrs later on arm-arm-03 https://buildd.debian.org/status/architecture.php?a=armel=experimental=buildd_armel-arm-ubc-06 https://buildd.debian.org/status/architecture.php?a=armel=experimental=buildd_armel-arm-arm-03 The second build started 1hr after the .changes files for the frist one was made, so I guess there is a timeout of 1hr after the log arrives and if there is no uploade by then the buildd assumes failure and schedules another build? I have noticed before that usually by the time I look at the failed upload there is already a new build uploaded. It would be nice if the buildds tidied up after themselves once the build is in the archive and stopped sending tiresome email awaiting a manual clear-up. Once a new build has been issued the old failed upload should be removed. I'm not quite sure exactly what that check should look like. Alternatively we could stop sending very frequent mail to buildd admins, and let the 'are files a week old' script tidy them up in due course.

Package: urlscan Version: 0.9.9-1 Severity: minor Tags: patch upstream The man page in this page lists the readme in the 'See Also' section. But the filename is wrong. In v0.9.9-1 the man page says: /usr/share/doc/urlscan/README and the file installed is /usr/share/doc/urlscan/README.md.gz This was wrong in 0.8.2-1 too man page still said: /usr/share/doc/urlscan/README but the file installed was: /usr/share/doc/urlscan/README.rst Obviously this isn't a huge deal, but it is annoying to copy-paste the filename and just get an error, then have to investigate. Making them match up would be good. Personally I don't like the way debian gzips small READMEs by default. 'more /usr/share/doc/urlscan/README.md.gz' produces garbage. less and most work, but is saving 4K really worth it here (the original is 7K)? So I'd change the manpage to say /usr/share/doc/urlscan/README.md and prevent the autogzipping. (patch for this attached) But you could just change the manpage to match the filename with the .gz if you prefer. The bit about changing the name (but not the bit about non gzipping) should go upstream as this is an upstream issue. Hope that's helpful.

Why do you want the armel porters to forward this bug upstream, when forwarding bugs upstream is normally the package maintainers job? I mean sure someone could do that, but it's probably not been done so far becuase they thought you would. Is your point that actually it's not just a matter of formwarding - some armel-specific investigation is needed first to work out what's actually wrong?

That's not the right approach for the Debian package, and this bug is about the debian package. Debian unstable has catch 3 in it. We should use it, not an old bundled catch2 copy. Upstream builds and Ubuntu builds can do something different if need be but that's not a good reason for the Debian package not to DTRT. And in general I'd expect current Ubuntu to have catch3 too so using the system version will be appropriate there too.

Apparently catch2 changed the headers, but then catch 3 changed them back but required a statically-linked library.

OK. So I read all that, and learned a whole load of stuff I was quite happy not knowing about. However despite reading it all, and especially this bit: "Whenever I've maintained man pages in roff I tend to be precise in > the usage of - and \-, but TBH this has seemed like a lost battle," I was left not actually know what - and \- represent, nor which one I _should_ be using in my man pages. And that seems to be the one thing we should be telling the 'average maintainer'. I think you can consider me representative of the typical maintainer who's intereaction with *roff languages almost entirely takes the form: 'Oh bloody hell I really ought to write a man page for this because upstream is too youthful to have done so - now how the hell does roff/nroff/groff work again' (no I'm not sure which it is I'm actually using, nor how any of this machinery really works, nor where to look for good practice, so I mostly copy existing stuff and DDG for answers, which is less than ideal when it comes to details like this). So this message is mostly a reminder that most people have not been following along at all, so just referring people to bugs like this, which discuss the issue in some detail, is not sufficient for maintainers to stop doign unhelpful things. (Yes I realise I could look it up, but I get the impression that everyone involved in this discusssion assumes people know what '-' and '\-' are so if they are just told to 'use the right one' will do so, and I thought it worth pointing out that that's not correct). Info for your average maintainer needs to go one step back and say "use stringA in this circumstance and stringB in this circumstance. . The reason why it matters is: stuff about hyphen and minus being different and minus being used in commands and cut+pasting being important" Hope that's helpful.

Bug#1053649: python3-numpy fails to install due to file clash with python-numpy
Package: python3-numpy Version: 1:1.24.2-1 Severity: important I am upgrading a system (laptop) from bullseye to bookworm. Everything was upgraded fully in bullseye, and all foreign (-dmo) packages removed before starting the upgrade. There were some old packages onthe system, include quite a few pthon-* (python2) packages. I did apt upgrade --without-new-pkgs first (as recomended on debian.org/releases/bookworm/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html) and that went fine, but the subsequent apt full-upgrade failed with: Preparing to unpack .../python3-numpy_1%3a1.24.2-1_amd64.deb ...

There is consensus amongst the ARM distro team that this should be turned on for arm64. Our preference is to turn it on for the 32-bit arm arches too. However Ubuntu chose not to enable this on armhf in 2019 after a rebuild test (although it doesn't look significantly worse than arm64 to me on that chart - needs more detailed investigation).

It turns out that this upstream Webkit bug explains what's going on: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217079 jumpislands allow +-128MB jumps to get to the whole 1GB executable space by having a particular memory layout. And the build should use _either_ the JIT or 'CLOOP', but not both. Applying the patch in that bug (which gates JUMP_ISLANDS on the JIT being enabled, and avoids compiling in a call to dumpJITMemory if JIT is disabled) allows everything to get compiled. However it then fails to link: [100%] Linking CXX shared library ../../lib/libjfxwebkit.so /usr/include/c++/11/ext/new_allocator.h:116: error: undefined reference to 'std::__throw_bad_array_new_length()' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status gmake[4]: *** [Source/WebKitLegacy/CMakeFiles/WebKitLegacy.dir/build.make:2237: lib/libjfxwebkit.so] Error 1 Which seems to be a problem with compiling with gcc11/12, but then trying to link to the gcc-libstd++ from gcc10. Removing all the gcc-10 packages from the build environment fixed this. I think this means the package should get a build-conflict on libstdc++-10-dev Also the discussion in the above bug suggests that the JIT should in fact be enabled on debian arm64. It only needs to be turned off on iOS and 64k aarch64 kernel (RHEL). I will test that next. Attached is the debdiff that at least makes the build work again for now.

Bug#1033092: (no subject)
More on this, the autostart works but it only works for increasing in
size, if I decrease it doesn't.
I have found another workaround here
https://superuser.com/questions/1183834/no-auto-resize-with-spice-and-virt-manager
which involves adding a script to watch for display events and trigger
xrandr
#!/bin/sh
sleep 2
xrandr --output "$(xrandr | awk '/ connected/{print $1; exit; }')" --auto
xev -root -event randr | \
grep --line-buffered 'subtype XRROutputChangeNotifyEvent' | \
while read foo ; do \
xrandr --output "$(xrandr | awk '/ connected/{print $1; exit; }')"
--auto
done
Below is the debug log for spice-vdagent when the script isn't in use.

I noticed in 2021 whilst doing tensorflow packaging that quite a few packages were using parts of these but nearly everyone had just embedded some files. We do have parts of the api packaged (e.g ruby-googleapis-common-prootos-types, and there are also ITPs for python-google-api-core and ruby-google-apis-discovery-v1 from jan 2023) but not the whole thing for all the languages. So I started on fixing it properly, and have a build that works for C, C++, java, python3 and ruby, but some language bindings did not build, and clearly I stalled part-way through the process of fixing those. I'm not sure which bindings we actually care about and which we can leave for now. I think I started an email about this somewhere, but am failing to find it right now, so I can't remember exactly where I got to. >However, that raises a few more questions: > a. google-apis is not versioned/tagged upstream.

Debian generally tries to pick a version and make depending packages work with it, rather than try to suport multiple versions unless it really is necessary. I do not have a good feel for what the best approach here is, and would greatly appreciate input from someone more familiar with the codebase on what the best approach in debian might be. >Could you please comment on which option you would suggest to take, and >also briefly address the potential follow-up questions? I suggest we compare notes on this in a specific ITP bug for google-apis. If you have a bit of time to put into this it would be great to actully (finally) get this fixed for the general case. I can provide debian packaging and build expertise to complement your knowledge of google-apis. (and then maybe we can give bazel-remote-apis a very similar treatment). I will put my unfinished project on salsa, file an ITP, and find my notes, then mail you and we can see if we can sort this with a reasonable level of effort.

Package: odbc-mdbtools Version: 1.0.0+dfsg-1+b1 Followup-For: Bug #1001144 I just came across this bug whilst testing -dev packages for ABI changes. This bug makes the package uninstallable and so (as it has been like this for 14 months) I am bumping the bug severity to serious. Missing dependencies violates a 'must' in policy: section 3.5 "Every package must specify the dependency information about other packages that are required for the first to work correctly."

Bug#1026204: tar FTBFS on armel, armhf, i386, hppa, powerpc and sparc64
Just noticed this bug. The discussion in this bug makes me worry that people do not fully understand the implications of enabling 64-bit time and large file system support respectively. It's great to see people starting to care about this issue and fix things (it's overdue), but I'm just chiming in to point out that some care is needed before turning these options on. Debian is in the process of developing a plan for this transition, but has not got very far yet. I have just started a wiki page to cover the issues (and tagged this bug): https://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/64bit-time https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?users=debian-de...@lists.debian.org;tag=time64 If tar is currently building without LFS enabled, I'd suggest maybe turning that on, checking things, and uploading before also turning on 64bit time_t. They can be done separately (in that order only). Both have the potential to change file formats and ABIs (although tar is a program not a library so no ABI is exposed). Hopefully upstream has looked at all this carefully and is reasonably sure nothing important will break? For LFS enablement you should be aware that LARGEFILE_SOURCE and FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 do different things. The former enables both 32 and 64-bit interfaces, the latter chooses the 64-bit interface only. You probably only want the latter. (depending how these are used in the codebase, it may not make any practical difference) For 64-bit time_t enablement you might want to wait for the dpkg standard debian mechanism to appear and use that: https://bugs.debian.org/1030159 You certainly want to be sure that things tar depends on (and expose ABIs or file formats that change) have switched first. Now tar is close to the bottom of the stack so this may well be fine, but it's linked against libacl, libselinux, libc and libpcre2, so we should check those. I am in the process of running abi-compliance-checker over all debian libraries to get a list of ones that expose an ABI change from either enabling LFS or 64bit-time_t. tests so far say: libacl1 is safe (no change) libselinux is unknown (did not build) libpcre2 is unknown (did not build) (I'll take a look at those now as they are pretty fundamental) If you choose to use gnulib, note that it turns 64-bit time on by default if detected in glibc, unless you set a macro to explicitly keep 32-bit time. So in summary, tar is a good candidate for enabling LFS and time64 early but some checks should be done first, unless it is known that there are no external interface changes other than to glibc. I hope that is helpful. Wookey -- Principal hats: Debian, Wookware, ARM http://wookware.org/ signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Good point. And related to recent debian-devel discussion about bare
build chroots actually being bare so that missing build-deps are
indeed discovered. I don't think that just adding more things to
'essential' is actually helpful here. netbase is not essential,
especially for builds that explicitly mustn't use the (external)
network.
To be fair schroot has a 'config=buildd' setup where /etc/protocols
and /etc/services are not copied over (and configs 'minimal', 'sbuild'
and 'mini-buildd'). The problematic situation is 'config=default' (and
'desktop') where they are. But I use the 'default' setup a lot because
it mounts /home as well and that's hugely helpful for doing various
sort of work, as opposed to a totally-clean sbuild build. And I think
it may be the default for sbuild-createchroot, but I could be wrong
about that.
For nearly everything I do a config without /etc{protocols|services}
but with /home would work great, but none of the supplied configs:
minimal, buildd, mini-buildd, sbuild, default, desktop do that. Do we
really need a 7th config (and if so what should it be
called?). Obviously I can just make one, but the fact that problem
affects people so often with the 'default' config seems to me to be a
problem we should try to fix.

That is a neat idea.

Except that it has to build this package live in order to contain the
/etc/protocols and /etc/services files from the host
environment. Having these default files with standard contents in a
pre-built .deb is pointless, isn't it?

Right, which gets back to having a proper minimal environment used by
sbuild to do a clean build. I have that (and it doesn't mount home,
using the 'sbuild' profile). I use it once things are working
reasonably well to get at least one clean build before uploading. This
bug is a problem in the 'less clean, but more useful' 'default' chroot
environment which is best for diagnostic work and builds of various
sorts where some file persistence (of user files) is needed.

Bug#557730: /etc/{protocols,network,services} not schroot's to scribble over
Source: schroot Version: 1.6.13-3 Followup-For: Bug #557730 Just discovered this bug from 2009. This problem has been annoying me regularly since about then, and I finally got round to working out what was actually going on, which led me here. The primary practical issue is that builds in the chroot are quite likely to bring in netbase, and that package contains /etc/protocols and /etc/services so when dpkg finds that they are already present in the chroot it stops with: Setting up netbase (6.4) ... Configuration file '/etc/protocols' ==> File on system created by you or by a script. ==> File also in package provided by package maintainer. What would you like to do about it ? Your options are: Y or I : install the package maintainer's version N or O : keep your currently-installed version D : show the differences between the versions Z : start a shell to examine the situation The default action is to keep your current version. *** protocols (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? So I often find that a build has just got stuck at the beginning unless I inject y\ny\n. This has caused endless hassle over the years, and it's a bit sad to see it's not been fixed in 13 years. I always assumed that someone would sort this out at some point and the hassle would go away. There are various ways we could deal with this. Sbuild-createchroot could set 1) Dpkg::Options::force=--force-confnew in its chroots. Are there reasons you might not want to set this in general? People would expect conf changes they made in their chroots to be preserved just the way they are in a normal system. So this seems like it would be intrusive. 2) netbase could be installed in base chroots then the problem would not arise (or only arise once). The problem here is that chroots can be made by many tools, and the usual tools (debootstrap and mmdebstrap) do not put netbase in by default. It would be very easy to make sbuild-createchroot just add --include=netbase to the invocation, and I'm not sure there is any real downside to doing that? Documenting the reason for including this package so that people using other tools to make chroots know it's a good idea would also be easy and helpful. 3) schroot could just not copy those files over. Whilst having the passwd database reflected in the chroot is incredibly useful it's not clear how often the services and protocols are needed, but I assume people do find that functionality useful. The actual issue here is that schroot is copying them over even when they don't exist in the chroot, then the thing that is supposed to be installing them gets tripped up (correctly) by dpkg's checks. So a simple fix that keeps the functionality when it's useful, but stops this breakage, would be to only copy over the files in the nssdatabases list _if they are already present in the chroot_. Possibly that should apply to all the files in the list? I'll see if I can come up with a patch to do that.

Bug#836249: (ITP: cavewhere -- Cave survey processing and visualisation)
Cavewhere has proved problematic to build and package but I think we are nearly there. v1.0 added two new dependencies: asyncfuture and st3c. Turned out st3c didn't do anything that libsquish didn't already do, so it was patched to just use libsquish. Then upstream took that fix. asyncfuture is now packaged, uploaded and in testing. qt-qml-models is packaged, but not uploaded as I've never actually got cavewhere to build against it, so it might be broken. A serious bug in libsquish packaging was found, which broke the cavewhere build, but none of the other dependencies. That has been fixed in time for bookworm. The Cavewhere build now gets further than ever before using system libraries, but the test library build still fails with a c++ issue. Awaiting comment from upstream. So it's missed bookworm, but I think we really are nearly there. Wookey -- Principal hats: Linaro, Debian, Wookware, ARM http://wookware.org/

Package: abi-dumper Version: 1.2-2 Severity: minor The man page for this page has two examples which should look like this: abi-dumper libTest.so -o ABI.dump abi-dumper Module.ko.debug -o ABI.dump But actually look like this: abi-dumper libTest.so -o ABI.dump abi-dumper Module.ko.debug -o ABI.dump which is quite ocnfusing on first read, until you realise what has gone wrong. Looking at the source I see the manpage is generated from help2man It comes out right if you do 'abi-dumper --help': EXAMPLES: abi-dumper libTest.so -o ABI.dump abi-dumper Module.ko.debug -o ABI.dump So apparently help2man is messing this up. I've not investigated further (to find out why other linefeeds are preserved but this one is lost), but running help2man on the binary just built is a great way to make something un-crossbuildable so maybe just making a manpage once and getting rid of help2man is the best approach here? Help2man is 'handy' but it's also problematic. This isn't a fast-moving project where the man page will go out of date all the time so converting to a simple man page, or packaging-time generation, rather than a build-time generation, would be good for reproducibility and cross-buildability.

The debian-devel thread continued but most responses were not copied to the bug (I've just realised). Possibly this means that you (guillem) didn't see most of the conversation. The bottom line is the security team were very unenthusiastic about enabling this by default because it might produce unexpected changes on security uploads, which is fair enough. Another suggestion was that it should be turned on for x32 too. I was expecting (after that discussion) the 'branch' functionality to be included in the next dpkg upload, just not enabled by default, but it was not included in 1.21.12 Do you disagree or did this just get forgotten? - Forwarded message from Moritz Mühlenhoff - Date: Wed, 26 Oct 2022 20:20:48 +0200 From: Moritz Mühlenhoff To: debian-de...@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: Enabling branch protection on amd64 and arm64 List-Id: Wookey wrote: > So the immediate issue now is whether or not to enable this by default > in bookworm? The majority of packages will not be rebuilt until the release, so if we add this now it means that packages pick up the change when they are rebuilt in stable via a security update or point release. That's not very appealing, independent of the supposed low risk factor.

Imagine somone reading through a list of our thousands of packages (who maybe never have even _heard_ of XFCE) when writing descriptions.

Hence, I've been using XFCE daily for 20 years and I'm still asking for a more useful description because I _don't_ know what this package is/does. What you've said above is pretty good, and I've now actually tried it, so I came up with this: "An XFCE desktop panel plugin, which provides a 'paper mode' style calculator as a box in the panel." The important distinction here is between something that launches a desktop calculator or something that provides a box in the panel that will do calculations. It sounds from what you have said that it is the latter (and I have just installed it to check that that is indeed the case). I was actually a lot more excited about it when I thought it was a quick way to keep something like galculator to hand. > > It needs to say what this _is_. Perhaps something like > > "Provides on-screen calculator from toolbar", then details as above. > > would be wrong, and even with corrections, pointless and/or duplicated info. That fact that I got it wrong after reading your ITP and examining the packaging illustrates the need for the description to clarify what the package actually is/does. > Let me contact upstream for their explanation and rationale for > including LGPL in the source tree.

"The plugin supports common mathematical operators (+, -, *, /, ^) with usual precedence rules, and some common functions such as abs(x), sqrt(x), sin(x) and cos(x)." It needs to say what this _is_. Perhaps something like "Provides on-screen calculator from toolbar", then details as above. I'd add Adrian Dimitrov to the copyright list and the package includes the LGPL COPYING.LIB at top level, although it's not obvious if that actually applies to any of the code. If it does then the LGPL should be listed (maybe you already checked this?). Otherwise it looks fine.

I'm not sure (I know a lot more about the arm64 side of this than the
amd64 side), but we are only enabling this on amd64, not i386. amd64
binaries don't run on i386 so I don't think any practical issue
actually arises. You have reminded me that I guess it should be turned
on for x32 too.

Right, and that's the plan.
The patch looks approx like this:
+# Branch protection
+if ($use_feature{hardening}{branch}) {
+my $flag;
+if ($cpu eq 'arm64') {
+$flag = '-mbranch-protection=standard';
+} elsif ($cpu eq 'amd64') {

Bug#1021292: Enabling branch protection on amd64 and arm64
I have been in discussion with Guillem about enabling the various branch protection mechanisms available on newer x86 and arm CPUs. These are hardware features (new instructions) that 'tag' pointers and branch targets to make it much harder for malicious code to implement ROP (return oriented programming) and JOP (Jump oriented programming) attacks. They have been implemented on both architectures in such a way that they can be generally enabled and are simply ignored on hardware that doesn't support them (the new instructions are in the NOP space). These features have been enabled in other distros for some time and we've done an archive rebuild of arm64 to check that there was not significant breakage. There is a lot of discussion of the details of this and the pros/cons of enabling this by default in the thread so I will try to keep this mail as a summary and suggest you go read https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2022/05/msg00022.html and https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2022/06/msg0.html if you want to know how it works, and all the details. We decided that the best thing to do was create a new hardening flags feature called 'branch' to add to the existing set. This enables -mbranch-protection=standard on arm64, and -fcf-protection on amd64 (yes it would have been nice if the gcc people had used common flags across the arches, but there you go) If/when other arches get similar functionality those would be enabled under this heading too (Are there any already that I don;t know about?) There is a dpkg branch containing this feature here: https://git.hadrons.org/git/debian/dpkg/dpkg.git/log/?h=next/dpkg-buildflags-feature-branch And a bug to track progress here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1021292 So the immediate issue now is whether or not to enable this by default in bookworm? It's a significant protection on newish hardware, which those who've worked on it (and I now, having investigated) believe should be on by default. We have a general policy of enabling reaosnably low-cost security features by default, and this is one of those. It's a fairly low-risk thing to do, especially as others have gone before us (Rhel made -fcf-protection the gcc default in 2018, and Suse in Oct 2021. Suse turned on branch-protection=standard (ie BTI+PAC) on arm64 in nov 2020), but it is changing the defaults. Like all dpkg-buildflags it can easily be disabled for a particular package and there is a kernel option to turn it off on a particular machine if issues are encountered (and no doubt we will find a couple). I hope that all makes sense. Wookey -- Principal hats: Debian, Wookware, ARM http://wookware.org/ signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.19.7
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
As discussed in the below-linked thread on dpkg-dev, we should enable PAC and
BTI
on arm64 as a standard hardening flag.
https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2022/05/msg00022.html
Attached is Guillem's proposed patch which does the trick, updated for
current dpkg (I opened this bug file in June, but forgot to actually
press send, so now updated for the current 1.21.9)
Despite this delay, I hope we can can have this in for bookworm.

Bug#992073: shim-signed: restore arm64 support
Binutils 2.38 now has proper PE/COFF output support for arm64. (And is in unstable and testing.) https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2022-February/119721.html I think this is the relevant bit: "Support for efi-app-aarch64, efi-rtdrv-aarch64 and efi-bsdrv-aarch64 has been added to objcopy in order to enable UEFI development using binutils." So we should now be able to build shim-signed on arm64 without the hackery that was previously used to simulate this format (and then had to be disabled because it broke things (AIUI)). I'm not sure how much work this is or if anyone else is already working on it? I presume it should be a simplification by removing the previous workarounds and bulding just as we do on x86 now? Happy to have a look if someone gives me some pointers. (A look round the package for an hour was not sufficient for me to work out how shim itself or the various other bits is all put together (shim-signed, shim-helpers--signed etc) and where it needs poking).

I forget the details, but given that he does not see it as valid it's not surprising that he is not engaging with it. However he should engage with this dpkg bug. It's an important one. Guillem, I'm sure you see all this as repeating yourself, but we cannot either reach a solution, or determine that one is not possible given current maintainership and TC decisions, without discussing the details. Like Wouter, I am inclined to agree with the dpkg maintainer that the current plan is broken, but I also accept the TC's authority. SFAICT We've made a right mess of this by not applying our usual technical rigour (BICBW - I have not followed all the ins and out of this).. At this point I am more disappointed in the people who keep insisting that 'it mostly works' is good enough, than I am in the bloody-minded dpkg-maintainer. Debian is not a 'mostly works' project. We do things properly - or at least we used to, even if that takes a long time. Some people have cited the multiarch dpkg changes as an example of work on dpkg being difficult. I was quite closely involved in all that and yes it took a long time but it was done right in the end, and it was the dpkg maintainer who insited on it being done right. Yes there was an incompatible syntax change but that was due to Ubuntu releasing with an implementation that was not good enough for upstream. It was annoying at the time but the pain was fairly short and we ended up in a better place in the long term. SFAICT the dpkg maintainer is applying the same rigour here, and the only way to fix this is for people who want to get usrmerge done to engage, with patches. If they want to prove that no patches for the current approach will ever be accepted, that can only be done by engaging further. Yes it will be hard work, but if it's not done we are just stuck.

There is usually an FPU (almost always) and a neon unit (usually). The point is that their presence is not guaranteed, so such instructions should not be used without checking the HWCAPS first. So libdeflate should be able to work fine on armhf, but may need enhancing with some fallback functions for FPUless and neonless hardware.

Description : Daemon for handling communication with eBUS ('Energy Bus')
devices
eBUS is a 2-wire serial bus used by some (mostly German-manufactured)
heating, ventilation and solar systems for communication.
The daemon can send, receive, cache and poll for messages, and scan the bus for
devices.
It can log via syslogd, and save messages in human-readbale form.
There is a command-line interface, and a simple HTML interface to allow data
retrieval as JSON
Messages can be published to (and from, if authorised) MQTT topics.
There is an ACL file for optional user authentication.
sysvinit and systemd are supported.
A suitable hardware interface is needed to use this software. Details
of an open interface which supports USB serial, rPi IO, and ethernet
and wifi with suitable modules are on the wiki:

I think that lintian should either install the right tools for running this test on foreign-arch binaries, or it should not try to check foregn-arch binaries. There is a separate issue about whether these files count as 'source-is-missing' binaries, but that's independent of the above issue, which seems to me to be a lintian bug. -- Wookey
Bug#920148: RFP: mapillary-tools -- Useful tools and scripts related to Mapillary
[cc:ing debian-python in case anyone happens to know enough about
python3-contruct to provide some clues]
OK, so it turns out that there are problems packaging pymp4.
It depends on construct, a (nice) library for parsing binary
formats. However said library seems to have little interest in
maintaining any sort of stable API so there have been significant
changes between 2.8, 2.9 and 2.10 (and in fact pymp4 needs 2.8.8 quite
specifically, and doesn't even work with 2.8.16).
2.8.8 is from October 2016 and Debian now has 2.10.x in stable, testing and
unstable.
There is a bug in construct 2.8.8 which means that pymp4 fails 5 out of 30-odd
tests even with that.
A python class moved, so that is trivially fixed with:
--- construct-2.8.8.orig/construct/core.py
+++ construct-2.8.8/construct/core.py
@@ -997,7 +997,7 @@ class Range(Subconstruct):
max = self.max(context) if callable(self.max) else self.max
if not 0 <= min <= max <= sys.maxsize:
raise RangeError("unsane min %s and max %s" % (min, max))
-if not isinstance(obj, collections.Sequence):
+if not isinstance(obj, collections.abc.Sequence):
raise RangeError("expected sequence type, found %s" % type(obj))
if not min <= len(obj) <= max:
raise RangeError("expected from %d to %d elements, found %d" %
(min, max, len(obj)))
But as no-one cares about 2.8.x anyway this fix doesn't help much.
What's really needed is updating pymp4 to use construct 2.10 (or
switch to a more stable library if such a thing exists ('Kaitai
Struct' was mentioned)).
There is an upstream issue for this:
https://github.com/beardypig/pymp4/issues/3
Which I've just added some info to.
2.9 changes the way Strings work: an encoding is always required, and
explicit flavours of padding (left/right, specifiable padding char)
have been removed. pymp4 uses these padding options (specifying spaces
and right-padding), but may still work fine with the remaining default
behaviour of 'PaddedString' (nulls and rightpading). I don't know
enough about either the MP4 format or the codebase to be sure. I did
know up a patch to update to the new string API.
2.9 also loses Embedded bitwise structs. And 2.10 loses 'Embedded' completely.
I have not really managed to work out exactly what 'Embedded' does. I
can't really work out what the difference between putting a bitwise
struct in the middle of a struct and putting an Embedded bitwise
struct in the middle of a struct is. Mostly this is because the online
docs only cover 2.10, not 2.8 so I don't know what the old definition
was. I spent a couple of hours trying to work it out. It's made more
complicated by the fact that construct also switched from 'bits by
default' to 'bytes by default' for efficiency reasons.
I've put a half-arsed patch in the github issue which is probably OK
for the strings part and almost certainly wrong for the Embedded
part. So example I have no idea how to deal with this which selects
one struct depending on a string:
Box = PrefixedIncludingSize(Int32ub, Struct(
"offset" / TellMinusSizeOf(Int32ub),
"type" / Peek(String(4, padchar=b" ", paddir="right")),
Embedded(Switch(this.type, {
b"ftyp": FileTypeBox,
b"styp": SegmentTypeBox,
b"mvhd": MovieHeaderBox,
b"moov": ContainerBoxLazy,
...
b'afrt': HDSFragmentRunBox
}, default=RawBox)),
"end" / Tell
))
changing
-"type" / Peek(String(4, padchar=b" ", paddir="right")),
to
+"type" / Peek(PaddedString(4,"ascii")),
is probably equivalent, but what is the equivalent syntax for choosing
the right struct for the 'type' field according to the 1st 4 bytes of
it, without using 'Embedded'? This was where I decided it was bedtime
and admitted defeat for the time being.
If someone familiar with construct 2.8 to 2.10 upgrades wanted to take
a look at this that would be very helpful. For some things we might
need to know something about the mp4 format too. I'm not sure to what
degree we need to understand the format, or if we can more or less
mechanically update the syntax.
So, for now there is no mapillary-tools in Debian, and without a
response from upstream or some help I'm stuck.

I had a need for this so had a go at packagaing it.
Turns out the the dependency pymp4 is not in debian, so I packaged that too.
However the tests for pymp4 are giving an error "NameError: name
'String' is not defined ", and if you ignore that and build
mapillary-tools anyway you get test errors there, and if you press on
and then try to use it, you hit the same issue:
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pymp4/parser.py", line 86, in
"major_brand" / String(4),
NameError: name 'String' is not defined
So something is wrong that needs investigation.

Bug#881571: gnumeric doesn't scale row-height correctly on imported spreadsheets
Source: gnumeric Version: 1.12.48-1+b2 Followup-For: Bug #881571 I'm seeing the 'wrong row-height' issue on all my spreadsheets, not just ones imported from calc and excel. In a newly-created sheet the font-size is about twice the row-height, just as in the badly-displayed sheets. If I type something into a cell the characters overhang the next row and then when one hits enter the row is resized to fit the just-entered font-size. Clearly the issue wth the 'characters too big for the rows' is related - the default font-szie is much begger than the default row-size. (looks like about twice as big) This may well be related to the fact that I have a HiDPI display here (3840x2160) so various things have had to be tweaked to make charcters and screen elements be sensible sizes. I tried changing GDK_SCALE=1 instead of 2, but that just produce exactly the same effect (fonts twice as tall as rows) with the overall window 1/4 the area. Not sure what to fiddle with next. But this is a serious problem making gnumeric kind of useless for exaisting sheets unless one wants to resize the fonts in every cell -- Wookey

and the program does not start at all.
I have other gpx files that exhibit the same behaviour. But also some that load
OK.
The attached "Knock Fell.gpx" works fine.
Interestingly if I load two files on the command line with the good one first,
then both appear inthe interface.
$ gpxviewer "Knock_Fell.gpx" "LakesStag2.gpx"
Try it with the bad one first and we get the above error:

If I load the app 'empty', then a good track, then a bad track. No
error is reported on the console. Both tracks are displayed but the
UI does not centre on the 2nd ('bad') track. Interestingly there is no
console error output when the 'bad' file is loaded after a good one like this.
But clearly tings are not quite right, because the collapsable list does not
sha anything for the 'bad' track, and clicking on the 'proerties button
generates this console error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gpxviewer/ui.py", line 465, in

TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable
and the 'choose a track colour' dialog does not appear.
So it looks like these 'bad' files are in fact loading OK, but something goes
wrong in the parsing for titles or length summaries.
If I load a large (13MB, 1000miles) gpx file (UK to Austria) it takes 11
seconds before the "IndexError: list index out of range"

Bug#998043: armnn: Tests fail with 'illegal instruction' on NEON-less hardware
Package: armnn Version: 20.08 Severity: serious Tags: upstream ftbfs Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past) armnn has built fine in the past but -10 and -7 both failed to build when the build machine was antheil. Antheil is one of the Marvell armada 32-bit arm boxes. It builds fine on APM and AMD seattle hardware (both arm64 hardware doing 32-bit builds) The build failure turns out to be in the tests, and testing on abel (Marvell porterbox) determines the offending code to be in the UnitTests binary itself. gdb ./build-area/UnitTests ... Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction. __static_initialization_and_destruction_0 (__initialize_p=1, __priority=65535) at ./src/profiling/LabelsAndEventClasses.cpp:14 14 ProfilingGuidGenerator LabelsAndEventClasses::m_GuidGenerator; So it's dying in the initialisation code (gdb) disassemble ... > 0xb6d9acf8 <+60>:vmov.i32d8, #0 ; 0x Which is neon code I believe and NEON is an optional extension that shouldn't be used with checking it's present (Armada has MMX2, not NEON). So I think either this test binary sould be built without NEON or there should be a HWCAP check around such usage.

That package is the band-aid I am currently using, but (because it has indeed not progressed through NEW yet, which is presumably down to ftpmaster bandwidth) it's a hassle where I have to make sure it is made available in the build environment each time. > Lots of things broke between buster and bullseye. Most of them broke by accident or for good reasons. You broke this semi-deliberately, by deciding not to manage a quiet background transition of the which binary to some other package, but to print a deprecation message and let other people deal with the fallout. OK, maybe you expected the change to be harmless, but you didn't revert it once it became clear that this was not a good way to do the transition. IIUC the tech committee have now told you to do it properly, as a managed transition. Good. > Is the difference that these packages aren't Essential? The difference from where I am standing is the attitude of the maintainer to doing things properly vs causing other people hassle. Nobody is making you remove/move which. If you want to move/remove which then do it in a way that doesn't break other people's stuff (as much as possible). In this case that really isn't hard to do (just wait until GNU which passes NEW, and preferably file bugs on packages that now need to depend on it). I didn't understand why you wanted to make this change in the first place, and I don't understand why you didn't just revert the message when it became clear that it was a problem, and I don't understand why you are still trying to justify your somewhat bloody-minded approach to this (should-have-been) minor issue, even after the tech comittee have agreed that it was not a good approach. Please, just remove the deprecation message, until GNU which is in unstable (like you should have done a couple of months ago, when first asked), then work out how the transition should go such that no-one using which will actually notice or care. Then you can throw away the hated binary :-) and we can all be happy. I understand that it's galling to have the TC tell you to take a different approach, especially when you've doubled-down on your approach, but I'm afraid the TC is correct here, so please, stop arguing, do what's best for the project, and soon enough this will all be over, and we'll all have what we want. And you may (or may not) choose to reflect on the the point that we _could_ have got to exactly the same point without this argument if you'd made different choices. From my personal point of view this is solved short-term the moment the deprecation message is gone in unstable, and long term as soon as GNU which enters unstable. I hope this is my last-ever word on this tiresome subject. Wookey -- Principal hats: Linaro, Debian, Wookware, ARM http://wookware.org/ signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Builds fail too. tensorflow now FTBFS in unstable because of this change, and the way bazel deals (or fails to deal) with it.

I think causing build failures is enough reason to say this. I don't suppose that mine is the only one. Yes those builds are buggy and should not do this, and we should make efforts to find out why bazel (or possibly the build scripts it is operating on) is/are so crappy, but for now I agree that reverting this is the right thing to do. We have time to do this transition properly and quietly in the background, without causing random breakage. A message about a binary moving from one package to another does not need to be printed on every usage of that binary. Indeed it is actively unhelpful to do so.

Bug#995269: glibc-source: Please enable MTE (heap) checking on arm64
Package: glibc-source Severity: wishlist Tags: patch glibc 2.33 onwards has support for 'Memory Tagging Extension' on arm64. Could you please enable this feature (by setting --enable-memory-tagging in the config). The effect is to add colouring bits into heap pointers so that typical illegal accesses (either temporally or spatially) can be detected and faulted. Glibc just has the userspace heap tagging - there is also corresponding kernel support. The functionality operates on arm ISA 8.5 or later, which has extra instructions to manipulate the tag bits in pointers. The details are explained in https://developer.arm.com/-/media/Arm%20Developer%20Community/PDF/Arm_Memory_Tagging_Extension_Whitepaper.pdf The implementation has been designed so that it is safe to enable in distros (which makes a change!). ifunc and HWCAP are used to link MTE-ready versions of relevant functions on hardware supporting ARMv8.5 instruction set or later. On eailer hardware things will work just as they do now. Here is the (trivial) patch: diff -u debian/sysdeps/arm64.mk~ debian/sysdeps/arm64.mk --- debian/sysdeps/arm64.mk~2021-08-24 14:31:06.0 + +++ debian/sysdeps/arm64.mk 2021-09-28 19:43:58.782118977 + @@ -1,2 +1,2 @@ # configuration options for all flavours -extra_config_options = --enable-multi-arch --enable-static-pie +extra_config_options = --enable-multi-arch --enable-static-pie --enable-memory-tagging -- Wookey

Package: gpsprune Version: 20.2-1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream If I generate a gpx file with 'OSM Route manager', specifically the Ceredigion Coast path https://osmrm.openstreetmap.de/relation.jsp?id=1806040 when I try to load it with GPSprune it says: "Error reading file: The processing instruction target matching '[xX][mM][lL]' is not allowed." This is quite a cryptic error. If try 'Import file with GPSbabel' instead I get the somewhat more helpful "GPX Read error: 'XML declaration not at start of document. "File: /tmp/Ceredigion+Coast+Path.gpx" Line: 13 column: 55' Looking at the file (attached) it has 12 leading blank lines. (0x0A unix linefeeds). Looks like GPSprune is expecting the xml header to be on the first line. If you remove those 12 lines then the file loads as expected. Now I presume that GPSprune is following the gpx spec, but perhaps it could be forgiving of leading whitespace? Certainly it could give a more useful error message of the form 'Could not load file : invalid GPX file'. I had a look at the gpx spec, and the schema is here: https://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1/gpx.xsd but I guess that whether the xml line must be on the very first line is actually part of the XML spec. I failed to find a simple validator I could run to check whether The codebase for OSMRM is here: https://github.com/osmrmhv/osmrmhv/issues so it you are happy that GPSprune is correct to reject this file then I guess I should file an issue there instead. -- Wookey

Hmm. Sorry that's not working. The mali binary drivers have now been removed from Debian because they are superseded by the panfrost free driver, and were never much practical use anyway. https://wiki.debian.org/PanfrostLima The binary drivers only ever worked on small subset of hardware because of the way the binary driver was designed. They worked on Firefly boards, and maybe some others but I'm not aware of any demonstrations of that. > but there is mali-midgard-dkms with all architecture and it is installable Hmm, there does seem to be some kind of multiarch problem there. mali-midgard-dkms has always been arch:all.

OK. So I took a look at this, and it is indeed somewhat involved getting the module in the right place. It turns out that the kernel build is already building it, and it's inthe main kernel image, it's just not in the installer nic-modules package. So the patch to fix this is: diff -Nru linux-5.10.28/debian/installer/modules/arm64/nic-modules linux-5.10.28/debian/installer/modules/arm64/nic-modules --- linux-5.10.28/debian/installer/modules/arm64/nic-modules2021-04-07 08:28:57.0 +0100 +++ linux-5.10.28/debian/installer/modules/arm64/nic-modules2021-04-26 19:20:12.0 +0100 @@ -1 +1,3 @@ #include + +mdio-bcm-unimac Then (to get a test installer image) build the linux package Then install the resulting linux-support-5.10.0-6, linux-image-5.10.0-6-arm64-unsigned, linux-image-5.10.0-6-cloud-arm64-unsigned, linux-image-5.10.0-6-rt-arm64-unsigned packages, and build linux-signed-arm64 to get a set of udebs Then copy those into build/localudebs and build debian-installer I've done this, and if you want to test the mini.iso image at: http://wookware.org/software/rpi4-test.iso That would be good.

I think this should be enough for the installer to boot and install stuff from its own iso image and thus get the networking working. Note that the image above will install the standard linux-image-5.10.0-6-arm64 (v5.10.28-1 from the debian repo) in /boot, but that has mdio-bcm-unimac available so should work fine. So I _think_ that means we don't need to change the initrd because both the installer and normal boot have the ethernet mdio driver available on localmedia, but I may be misunderstanding things. Right at the start of this bug you said: > Note that this is a rather critical regression (since it used to work > fine with previous bullseye ISOs) I don't understand this. This module has presumably been missing from the installer packages all along, so I don't see how it could have worked before? If it really is a regression then this could be deemed an RC bug and it is possible that it will get fixed for stable, but if it isn't then I think we've missed the boat on kernel changes for the next stable. However this is the sort of important platform-support bug that should go into the -r1 point release soon after the stable release. First we have to prove that this fix does actually work and is correct. Then we can ask the kernel people what the situation is. I agree that broken rPi4 ethernet on the installer is quite bad.

Nope, that doesn't actually fix the problem, although it appears to
have reduced the number of instances of complaint (that may just be an artifact

Not totally clear what's going on here (the function and prototype

Debian can package mmsd with whatever set of patches it sees fit. If the end result is ChrisT's version, with Modem Manager support, then I think that's reasonable. mmsd is not currently packaged in debian so I don't think a rename is required. Ultimately it's up to maintainers to choose which upstream is most appropriate. There used to be only one, but increasingly one gets a choice of varying degrees of active maintenance. (This can be a huge pain making life quite awkward for maintainers, and I find Debian is the only org trying to unify a diverse set of versions where a load of people have scratched their own itch and then just left it like that.) Ultimately we want the best functionality for our users, and if the old upstream has been inactive for years then using this new, maintained version of mmsd may well be the best course. Efforts should continue to either give Chris access to the original repo or officially declare it 'under new management' so that there is a canonical place for the codebase, but in the meantime it's OK for debian to have a big patch. Versioning could be tricky in some situations, but SFACT the ofono mmsd is just 0.0 so the debian version can be 0.0.something and remain compatible with a shift back to that repo at some point.

Source: linux Version: 5.10.26-1 Followup-For: Bug #985862 Testing 5.10.26-1 on a Compulab IOT-gateway board (https://www.compulab.com/products/iot-gateways/iot-gate-imx8-industrial-arm-iot-gateway/) revealed that a couple more config options are needed to support it: CONFIG_SERIAL_IMX_CONSOLE=y CONFIG_CLK_IMX8MM=y Without these it hangs early in the boot process. (Whilst they can be configured as modules this doesn't work well. CONFIG_SERIAL_IMX_CONSOLE=m misses quite alot of the boot messages and CONFIG_CLK_IMX8MM=m just makes it hang.) (Thanks to Vincent for the testing) Enabling these in the next upload, whenever that is, would be much appreciated. Addendum: There are almost certainly some other clocks needed for other hardware, but that needs to await testing/feedback from people with access to said hardware. Just for future reference: I believe the correspondance of config options to SOC variants is: IMX8MN == i.MX8M Nano IMX8MQ == i.MX8M Quad IMX8QXP == i.MX8 QuadXPlus IMX8MP == i.MX8M Plus -- Wookey
Bug#981357: python3-django: needs python3-mysqldb >=1.3.13 which is not in backports
I have just built a patched version of python-django which changes the
check for python3-mysqldb >= 1.3.13 so that it runs on the existing
1.3.10 stable version.
It seems to work fine. We have a fairly complicated database schema in
our django app, but we are not doing anything very 'fancy' (like
transaction rollbacks). Despite much reading of issues, bug reports
and commits, I have not been able to work out exactly _why_ the
required version was upped and whether anything important changed. (I
found good info for PyMySQL in this regard, but not the mysqldb
module).
I also found that it is trivial to build python-mysqldb 1.4.4 so a
backport of that would be very straightforward. But as this point in the
release cycle I'm not sure therre is any point actually uploading such
a thing? A new upload of python-django with the mysqldb version
constraint relaxed so that it actually installs would make sense.

I meant to remove this package as the state of the free drivers (panfrost) is such that there is no real point debian maintaining this free wrapper for the non-free driver any longer (and certainly not for a whole stable cycle). Looks like I failed to get round to filing a remove bug. I'll do that if it's not too late.
