Package: libpython3.12-dev Version: 3.12.1-2 Severity: minor Tags: upstream newcomer
Dear Maintainer, Some of the C code contained within the headerfiles from libpython3.12-dev appears not to be compliant with C90 standards (examples: [1][2]). This contributed to a build failure[3] for the onboard/1.4.1-5 package that is currently part of the python3.12-add[4] transition. Upstream has continued to accept pull requests / patches to update their code to remain C90 compliant over the past few years (example: [5]). Although I'm not initially attaching a patch here, I hope to do so within the next week, unless someone else writes one before I do.
