Hi, I was on +1 Maintenance from 2025-05-26 until 2025-06-01. I worked on some merges (for packages in main) and was shadowed by Ankush as well.
Actionable Tasks: - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fontconfig/+bug/2111850 - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/2111802 ## libcap2 Straightforward merge, some delta was dropped, thanks to Sudip for sponsoring! https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libcap2/+bug/2111776 ## fontconfig Another straightforward merge where just an offset update was required for the patches to apply without fuzzing. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fontconfig/+bug/2111850 is up and looking for a sponsor. ## git This was straightforward, but it fails to build on s390x post-merge. It is a build test failure. I have kept this on hold till I fix it. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/git/+bug/2111824 ## mdadm This was a can full of worms. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/2111802 is up and nothing blocks it at the moment. But I realised that this package is not tested anywhere - The Debian CI does not run the tests, it does not have any build tests, and autopkgtest failures do not block the migration of mdadm. It is a poorly written piece of software which goes against its manpage. The doc says that --disable-linear can be used to skip the linear tests, but it sets a variable which is never checked while deciding what tests to skip. There are half-initialised stack-allocated struct objects (where the non-initialised parts are never touched and then straight up used for comparison) - This is why you can't use --grow with --add, even when the manpage says you can. I have opened https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/2112327 and will propose a fix to run the autopkgtests, so we can have atleast some testing for this. The merge is not blocked my this, and is looking for sponsors. This was all from me this week. It is a small list, partly due to other stuff that occupied me at work, and I spent more time digging around mdadm than actually fixing it. I also spent time showing Ankush the ropes, and he helped me with mdadm and the rails FTBFS, which seemed like a good first task but turned out to be tricky: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rails/+bug/2112113 Thank you.
