Thanks Adrian.  I guess disabling tests permanently for sparc64 is a 
reasonable

(if regrettable) work-around if they continue to cause trouble.


We could also ask the maintainer to disable the testsuite on sparc64.


Well yes, that's what I meant :)  Easy enough to do in-package.

Perhaps it helps to limit the number of cores available to the tests?

taskset -c 0,1,2,3

The package is currently blocked on sparc64 because the testsuite kept crashing
the host system and no solution was found yet. It seems that the testsuite will
put a lot of strain on the host system when the machine has many CPU cores which
is true for most sparc64 systems we use.

I will build the current version manually for now with the testsuite disabled 
and
upload the package.

The sparc64 porterbox is currently offline but it will be replaced with a newer,
faster one within the next weeks. The new server has already been acquired. Then
we can have another look at the package and maybe figure out how to fix the 
testsuite
issue.

Bug#1003181: cython: sparc64 is not building cython ("Not For Us")

2022-01-05 Thread Drew Parsons
Source: cython
Version: 0.29.24-2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-sparc@lists.debian.org

cython previously built on sparc64 for bullseye (stable) at version 0.29.21-3

Now (for version 0.29.24-2), cython is marked "Not For Us" on sparc64
and is no longer building.

python3.10 is still building for sparc64.  A lot of python packages
need cython, it would be a shame not to let them be available any
more.

I can't see any configuration or documentation in cython source that
would prevent building on sparc64.  I haven't heard that the sparc64
port is being abandoned altogether (again, python3.10 is still
building there).

Do we know why sparc64 has stopped building cython?
