Clear message

Status for 2019-08-02 -> 2019-08-08

  • Hack around broken procenv in eoan breaking sbuild and pbuilder autopkgtest everywhere
  • hotfix python-apt so snapd builds in eoan (LP: #1837926), needs a cleaner fix, but that needs work in bindings
  • Released apt 1.9.2
  • Verify dpkg SRUs
  • Answered questions about which apt binary packages need upgrading needed for trusty ESM
  • Some initial analysis and workarounds in autopkgtest for the i386 autopkgtest queue being stuck, which turned out to be a gnutls bug (LP: #1839354)

Status for 2019-08-09 -> 2019-08-15

  • uploaded gpgme1.0 to bionic to fix FTBFS there (LP: #1813581)
  • otherwise, it's been kind of an *apt* week.
  • released apt 1.8.3, (fake-ish)-synced to disco, 1.8.3~deb10u1 for Debian stable (LP: #1838771 amongst others)
  • fixed a segmentation fault introduced in apt 1.9.2 (https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/apt/merge_requests/73, LP: #1839714)

  • wondering why dpkg SRU was released on disco and xenial but not bionic (that's not a sane order ;))
  • learned more about AppStream and what the needs are on a package management daemon side

  • started preparing to run black on python-apt code
  • APT PATTERNS ARE HERE! (https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/apt/merge_requests/74)

    • apt purge ?config-files
    • apt remove ?garbage
    • apt install ?or(?name(^apt$),?and(?true,?false))

  • apt-patterns manpage (w/ bad rendering): https://people.debian.org/~jak/apt-search-terms.html
