Friendly ping again. We're now in the first phase of the freeze for
bullseye. It would be good, for all I guess, if your work since October
2019 gets included in bullseye. bullseye currently has 20190509-1.

In case you didn't notice; s390x is fixed now. The package FTBFS on
armhf and mips64el.

Yup, working on it.  I may have to turn off s390x support for the
short term; the issue is that this package is solely little-endian
upstream and it has been patched and bodged so many times for
big-endian support, it has been become unmaintainable for big-
endian.  These patches are being re-done and made straightforward
but it is taking a lot longer than hoped; ideally, I can get them
upstreamed and simplify further.

acpica-unix is a key package and will not be autoremoved. Can you please
fix the situation?

Bug#966680: src:acpica-unix: fails to migrate to testing for too long: FTBFS on s390x

2020-08-01 Thread Paul Gevers
Source: acpica-unix
Version: 20190509-1
Severity: serious
Control: close -1 20200528-1
Tags: sid bullseye
User: release.debian@packages.debian.org
Usertags: out-of-sync

Dear maintainer(s),

As recently announced [1], the Release Team now considers packages that
are out-of-sync between testing and unstable for more than 60 days as
having a Release Critical bug in testing. Your package src:acpica-unix
in its current version in unstable has been trying to migrate for 60
days [2]. Hence, I am filing this bug.

If a package is out of sync between unstable and testing for a longer
period, this usually means that bugs in the package in testing cannot be
fixed via unstable. Additionally, blocked packages can have impact on
other packages, which makes preparing for the release more difficult.
Finally, it often exposes issues with the package and/or
its (reverse-)dependencies. We expect maintainers to fix issues that
hamper the migration of their package in a timely manner.

This bug will trigger auto-removal when appropriate. As with all new
bugs, there will be at least 30 days before the package is auto-removed.

I have immediately closed this bug with the version in unstable, so if
that version or a later version migrates, this bug will no longer affect
testing. I have also tagged this bug to only affect sid and bullseye, so
it doesn't affect (old-)stable.

If you believe your package is unable to migrate to testing due to
issues beyond your control, don't hesitate to contact the Release Team.

Paul
