Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: magics++ at packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:magics++
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package magics++
[ Reason ]
I'm not sure why magics++ wasn't ready to migrate before.
It was uploaded in April but never built until yesterday. I guess it
was waiting for a dependency to get fixed, which has only just been
fixed.
magics++ doesn't have debian/tests, so needs a manual unblock to
proceed into trixie.
[ Impact ]
The block on magics++ is threatening removal of sasview (and metview)
from trixie, which would be regrettable.
[ Tests ]
magics++ does not have debian/tests, unfortunately, which is why this
manual unblock is needed.
[ Risks ]
Low risks in the sense that magics++ is only used by a small handful
of packages (metview, sasview in some way)
[ Checklist ]
[ ] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
Documented as "New upstream release".
[ ] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
No, this is not "my" package. I'm just trying to prevent removal of sasview.
[ ] attach debdiff against the package in testing
magics++/4.16.0 is a new upstream release that should have been
built in April before hard freeze. Upstream source contains data
files, making it impractical to make a debdiff.
[ Other info ]
I don't have a direct interest in magics++, I'm just trying to prevent
removal of sasview. For what's it's worth, I cannot see why magics++
removal is threatening sasview removal. I can't see a direct
dependency.
unblock magics++/4.16.0-1
