Please unblock package curl We have two changes on unstable: 1) Curl's test suite now skips flaky tests and it's critical to the result of the build: This means we get a FTBFS if tests fails, considering curl has a very extensive test-suite (around 1600 tests) and that this will increase the reliability of our backporting of patches throughout stable, oldstable and oldoldstable (hello lts/elts), this is very important. 2) Add support to PEM certificates for libcurl3-nss: When working on having the improved test coverage, we noticed the possibility to fix this long-standing bug. Users of libcurl3-nss are now able to load PEM certificates (like from ca-certificates), which makes it easier to run a safer libcurl with nss. [ Reason ] Major improvements to tests and fix of a long-standing bug related to usage of NSS and PEM certificates. [ Impact ] Maintenance of curl will be much more reliable from now on as we have better test coverage with results which can't be ignored. [ Tests ] I've run at least 8 builds of the curl package in our buildd infrastructure and didn't spot any flaky tests left. Regarding the NSS + PEM change, curl's extensive unit tests passed. [ Risks ] More work and less reliability maintaining curl on trixie (for backporting patches, for example). [ 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 would like 7.88.1-6 to migrate as soon as possible (it has been more than 10 days already) because I want to push 6 CVE fixes after this upload. I will also request for the CVE fixes to be unblocked but I would like this version to migrate first so it happens sooner (trying to avoid baking this for an extra 20 days). unblock curl/7.88.1-6 Thank you, -- Samuel Henrique <samueloph>
