Known issues

In progress

Items that are being actively worked on. Please always mention the name / irc nick, who is working on that.

Things to pick from

These are issues that are not yet done, after somebody's rotation/shift ended. Or someone has spotted them but had no chance to work on it. If someone trying to pick them realized that it was resolved by time/someone-else please be so kind and remove the related entries.

• Ongoing transitions
  • there are plenty of rust packages stuck in -proposed. Unfortunately the rust packages we sync from Debian are not generally in a consistent state allowing migration (to Debian testing or to the Ubuntu release). If someone takes a look at these, they will probably want to recommend removals of various leaf packages blocking transitions.
  • vcmi ftbfs, pinged xnox about it, boost 1.71 related
  • ubuntu-app-launcher, url-dispatcher, unity fallout
    • Who to approach to remove those? xnox will look into them
  • rust-* some test and many "unsatisfiable depends", one needs to check how this was meant to work ...
    • the rust packages only build if uploaded in a very precise order, which they were to debian but the debian import freeze messes this up for us
    • it's not clear that any of these packages help users of Ubuntu at all, so putting effort into these packages has a low ROI IMO (I == mwhudson)
  • there is a mess of go packages that needs unpicking. It's the sort of thing where we/Debian has updated one package to a given version, but some of the rdeps upstream are still pinning an older version.
    • this is blocking some potentially useful packages

  • autopkgtest for r-cran-* is in excuses quite often, this needs to be checked and probably custom test triggers (there also is a whopping 1.8k r-cran-* tests in http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/running atm)

  • perl micro update 5.30.3 - On Monday there was another upload of 5.30.3-4 and someone overzealously removed all perl tests. Cpaelzer/xnox/Laney re-triggered the tests the results ahve to be re-checked.
  • The orcania transition - almost there, I (sil2100) pushed it forward a bit but it seems it now needs a merge of hoel before we can get everything building in the chain.

• golang-github-miekg-dns, which is blocking golang-github-hashicorp-memberlist: integer overflow on armhf: https://github.com/miekg/dns/issues/1129, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/golang-github-miekg-dns/+bug/1884152, https://github.com/miekg/dns/pull/1130

• golang-yaml.v2: upstream golang issue https://github.com/golang/go/issues/39651. If we really need to get golang-yaml.v2 migrated before a fixed golang hits the archive, we can apply this workaround patch: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/golang-yaml.v2/+bug/1883770/comments/4

• Not ready yet
  • haskell-* seems like mass-FTBFS and build-dependency need

    • [cpaelzer] (snip remove old details ...) Per coordination with Debian several things need to be resolved first their ML as reply.

      • The above was early ~June, many but not all things are resolved by now (early August)
    • haskell-haskell-gi-base was downgraded for now which makes many haskell things show up as wait-on-dep
      • unblocking these would conflict with ICU, do not touch them yet
      • after ICU is done syncpackage 0.23 of haskell-haskell-gi-base to get many haskell builds and tests
        • going again
