Well, I have some code depending on it as a user... broken since that long, so yes it would be useful. But if upstream doesn't follow the ecosystem timely, I might have to port my code around it to stay current. As a DD... I'm quite annoyed to see the upstream side of the ecosystem move and the Debian side get frozen for a single package. > I have added a removal hint (for removal from testing). Thanks, that will be a relief to at least save testing from this mess. Thanks again, J.Puydt

It seems src:mathcomp-analysis is a leaf package that can easily be removed indeed. That would still leave mathcomp-analysis broken in unstable, of course, but that's a lesser evil. Indeed. If the issue isn't cleared for testing by february first, I'll just ask for a full RM of mathcomp-analysis : a brutal fix, but an efficient one. Well, I think that if the package (once fixed) is still useful to have in Debian, temporary removal from testing is a reasonable trick to solve situations like this, no need for a full RM. Once fixed it can migrate again. Obviously if you think the situation for this package in Debian is bad, than full RM makes sense of course. I have added a removal hint (for removal from testing).

I fixed the mathcomp-finmap issue in unstable, so in two days (too young excuse) that will leave only mathcomp-analysis blocking Coq- related packages from migrating as far as I can tell. The problem with mathcomp-analysis is that: - I had understood upstream would release a version compatible with "MC 2" (ssreflect package in Debian) by the end of december, so I started uploading the whole set (about fifty packages) even though I didn't have that good version yet, pretty confident the breakage would be transitory, perhaps even invisible since it's a leaf package ; - but then the new compatible release would come in january ; - and now january is coming to an end without it ; - in fact there was a new release three days ago to add compatibility with the yet-unreleased next Coq... but still "MC 1"! The conclusion is: I shouldn't have jumped the gun. Would kicking the mathcomp-analysis package out of testing allow the migration of the rest of the Coq-related packages and at least give a coherent set there? That would still leave mathcomp-analysis broken in unstable, of course, but that's a lesser evil. If the issue isn't cleared for testing by february first, I'll just ask for a full RM of mathcomp-analysis : a brutal fix, but an efficient one. Thanks, J.Puydt
Bug#1061232: src:coq: fails to migrate to testing for too long: triggers autopkgtest issues
Source: coq Version: 8.17.0+dfsg-1 Severity: serious Control: close -1 8.18.0+dfsg-1 Tags: sid trixie User: release.debian@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 30 days as having a Release Critical bug in testing [1]. Your package src:coq has been trying to migrate for 31 days [2]. Hence, I am filing this bug. The version in unstable causes autopkgtest failures in multiple reverse (test) dependencies: mathcomp-analysis (affected by FTBFS bug 1060988) and mathcomp-finmap (which has a newer version in unstable with issues). 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 trixie, 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.
