[Debian-astro-maintainers] Bug#1031194: reproject: FTBFS (failing tests) (old bug fixed in trixie/sid but not in stable)

[Santiago Vila]

Hi.

This bug was fixed in trixie/sid, but I still would like to see
it fixed it in bookworm via team upload.

Upstream said (at the time) that "parallel code has been
completely re-written". Backporting new code to stable would
be a very bad idea, but we can still make the package buildable
from source for everybody.

The attached patch uses os.cpu_count() and disables the tests
only when we know they will fail. This is an improvement over
the patch I initially proposed, which I admit was not good,
and at the same time better than nothing.

So, my plan (no action required from your side) is to create
a "bookworm" branch, add the last two commits from my fork:

https://salsa.debian.org/sanvila/reproject/-/commits/bookworm

and take care of the related bureaucracy (hopefully for
Debian 12.11, since 12.10 will be out tomorrow).

(So, similar to some extent to what I did with "ndcube" and "sunpy").

Thanks.
