Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected], [email protected] Control: affects -1 + src:binutils-arm-none-eabi User: [email protected] Usertags: rmI've merged two embedded binutils binary packages (binutils-arm-none-eabi, binutils-riscv64-unknown-elf) into a single source package (binutils-embedded) and added a third (binutils-aarch64-none-elf). I had assumed that removing this package from unstable would eventually cause it to be removed from testing; in case that isn't true, this bug is a request to explicitly remove it from testing.
To try and speed things up, I already have some hints [1] in place from 2026-02-26, 2026-03-15 and 2026-03-19, but migration+removal "binutils-embedded,-binutils-arm-none-eabi,-binutils-riscv64-unknown-elf,gcc-riscv64-unknown-elf" is blocked [2] because it would make several package unbuildable or not-installable in testing: src:altos, gcc-arm-none-eabi, src:hackrf, src:libnxt, libstdc++-arm-none-eabi-dev, src:libstdc++-arm-none-eabi, libstdc++-arm-none-eabi-newlib, libstdc++-arm-none-eabi-picolibc, src:newlib, src:nxt-firmware, src:pico-sdk, pico-sdk-source, picolibc-arm-none-eabi, src:picolibc, src:picotool, src:sunxi-tools
I just checked and I can't spot any piece that is not fixed in unstable, so I guess britney2 just got too confused by the src:binutils-embedded taking over the binaries and what it all implied. I'll extend my hint with the packages that have different versions between unstable and testing in the set above and hope that that will help.
