Hi Carsten, I also talked to elbrus on MiniDebCamp in Brussels. He explained to me some details about the migration process I didn't understand before. This will help us to identify the cause of some blockers by looking up the information in the britney log. As far as I could trace it, this leads to the packages listed in https://people.debian.org/~infinity0/rust/debian-testing.txt Most of the times when I take a detailed look on why it doesn't migrate, it leads to one of the few packages that currently are in NEW. I don't have the time right now to include it in this mail, but if desired I will assemble the list of required packages that are currently in NEW as soon as I find the time (hopefully tomorrow). A special case is the rust-compiler-builtins source package that has been rejected by NEW before due to unclear license information. https://ftp-master.debian.org/new/rust-compiler-builtins_0.1.23-1.html says: > See discussion: > https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-builtins/issues/307 > https://github.com/rust-lang/libm/issues/215 There is another issue that might need to be resolved that affects mips[64]el, which is present in rustc (#950583) or possibly one of its deps) surfacing in one of our crate packages (#950337). Due to that we might be keeping versions in mips[64]el testing that block upgrades. This can be seen in the rust transition tracker https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/rust.html where a whole lot of packages can not be built in mips[64]el due to this directly or transitively depending on the affected package. >> We already started a discussion with the Debian release management team to >> simplify the acceptation of >> packages already existing in the archive but with a new binary coming. That is good to hear and would facilitate the procedure of updating existing crates significantly. Wolfgang.
