Package: tracker.debian.org Severity: wishlist Hi!
Currently when a package is blocked by a release-team block hint, that appears at the end of the "Issues preventing migration" list, which can easily be missed if there are also lots of autopkgtest issues, (see the current dpkg tracker page). ,--- Migration status for dpkg (1.22.4 to 1.22.6): BLOCKED: Rejected/violates migration policy/introduces a regression Issues preventing migration: ∙ ∙ Updating dpkg would introduce bugs in testing: #1067427 ∙ ∙ autopkgtest for ceilometer/blocked-on-ci-infra: i386: Ignored failure ∙ ∙ autopkgtest for chrony/4.5-1: amd64: Pass, arm64: Pass, armel: Regression or new test ♻ (reference ♻), armhf: Regression or new test ♻ (reference ♻), i386: Pass, ppc64el: Pass, s390x: Pass ∙ ∙ autopkgtest for dash/0.5.12-6: amd64: Pass, arm64: Pass, armel: Regression or new test ♻ (reference ♻), armhf: Regression or new test ♻ (reference ♻), i386: Pass, ppc64el: Pass, s390x: Pass ∙ ∙ autopkgtest for dpkg/1.22.6: amd64: Pass, arm64: Pass, armel: Pass, armhf: Pass, i386: Pass, ppc64el: Pass, s390x: Pass ∙ ∙ autopkgtest for gsocket/1.4.41-1: amd64: Pass, arm64: Pass, armel: Regression or new test ♻ (reference ♻), armhf: Regression or new test ♻ (reference ♻), i386: Pass, ppc64el: Pass, s390x: Pass ∙ ∙ autopkgtest for lintian/2.117.0: amd64: Regression or new test ♻ (reference ♻), arm64: Regression or new test ♻ (reference ♻), armel: Regression or new test ♻ (reference ♻), armhf: Regression or new test ♻ (reference ♻), i386: Regression or new test ♻ (reference ♻), ppc64el: Regression or new test ♻ (reference ♻), s390x: Regression or new test ♻ (reference ♻) ∙ ∙ Not touching package due to block request by sramacher (please contact debian-release if update is needed) Additional info: ∙ ∙ Piuparts tested OK - https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/d/dpkg.html ∙ ∙ Reproducible on amd64 - info ♻ ∙ ∙ Reproducible on arm64 - info ♻ ∙ ∙ Waiting for reproducibility test results on armhf - info ♻ ∙ ∙ Reproducible on i386 - info ♻ ∙ ∙ 11 days old (needed 5 days) Not considered `--- The block seems like the most important information there, because even if everything else gets solved that still requires active action by the release-team. So I think it would be better to place it as the first item, also so that it does not get drown by autopkgtest entries that can be many. Also perhaps the autopkgtest entries should be nested? As in: ,--- ∙ ∙ Status for autopkgtest: ∙ ∙ ∙ ceilometer/blocked-on-ci-infra: i386: Ignored failure ∙ ∙ ∙ chrony/4.5-1: amd64: Pass, arm64: Pass, armel: Regression or new test ♻ (reference ♻), armhf: Regression or new test ♻ (reference ♻), i386: Pass, ppc64el: Pass, s390x: Pass ∙ ∙ ∙ dash/0.5.12-6: amd64: Pass, arm64: Pass, armel: Regression or new test ♻ (reference ♻), armhf: Regression or new test ♻ (reference ♻), i386: Pass, ppc64el: Pass, s390x: Pass ∙ ∙ ∙ dpkg/1.22.6: amd64: Pass, arm64: Pass, armel: Pass, armhf: Pass, i386: Pass, ppc64el: Pass, s390x: Pass ∙ ∙ ∙ gsocket/1.4.41-1: amd64: Pass, arm64: Pass, armel: Regression or new test ♻ (reference ♻), armhf: Regression or new test ♻ (reference ♻), i386: Pass, ppc64el: Pass, s390x: Pass ∙ ∙ ∙ lintian/2.117.0: amd64: Regression or new test ♻ (reference ♻), arm64: Regression or new test ♻ (reference ♻), armel: Regression or new test ♻ (reference ♻), armhf: Regression or new test ♻ (reference ♻), i386: Regression or new test ♻ (reference ♻), ppc64el: Regression or new test ♻ (reference ♻), s390x: Regression or new test ♻ (reference ♻) `--- Which would remove repetition and make it visually easier to see? (This has come up recently, I think multiple times, as I've got multiple private queries, and some public ones, where it looks like people missed the main reason for why dpkg is not migrating.) (Also as an aside, perhaps autopkgtest entries that are all-pass, should appear in the “Additional info” part instead?) Thanks, Guillem
