[Debichem-devel] Bug#1004157: src:xtpcpp: fails to migrate to testing for too long: uploader built arch:all binaries

[Paul Gevers]

Source: xtpcpp
Version: 0.4.18-1
Severity: serious
Control: close -1 0.4.43-1
Tags: sid bookworm pending
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: out-of-sync

Dear maintainer(s),

The Release Team considers packages that are out-of-sync between testing 
and unstable for more than 60 days as having a Release Critical bug in 
testing [1]. Your package src:xtpcpp has been trying to migrate for 61 
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 bookworm, so 
it doesn't affect (old-)stable.

Your package is only blocked because the arch:all binary package(s) 
aren't built on a buildd. Unfortunately the Debian infrastructure 
doesn't allow arch:all packages to be properly binNMU'ed. Hence, I will 
shortly do a no-changes source-only upload to DELAYED/15, closing this 
bug. Please let me know if I should delay or cancel that upload.

Paul
