[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#998033: src:emscripten: fails to migrate to testing for too long: depends on llvm-toolchain-13 which isn't ready for testing yet

[Paul Gevers]

Source: emscripten
Version: 2.0.12~dfsg-2
Severity: serious
Control: close -1 2.0.26~dfsg-4
Tags: sid bookworm
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:emscripten has been trying to migrate for
75 days [2]. Hence, I am filing this bug.

The package build with llvm-toolchain-13, but according to its
maintainer [3] it could take some time until that's ready to migrate. Is
building with llvm-toolchain-11 (which is in testing) still an option?

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.

If you believe your package is unable to migrate to testing due to
issues beyond your control, don't hesitate to contact the Release Team.

Paul
