Hi! Gilles Filippini: > Then I give up :/ Considering the very low popcon I think I'd rather ask for > a removal. Can we please hold on a little bit on this removal? SikuliX is critical to Tails' CI and I've just learned about this removal request (we had been discussing some of the issues for a month on #897215 but I failed to notice this very request). So I'd like a little bit of time to assess the situation and decide what we're going to do about it. Would it be OK with you to let the package be auto-removed from testing (due to #897215) and leave it in sid for a few more weeks, or ideally months? > I've just given a try at packaging release 1.1.2 and, after adding yet > another couple of patches, it builds fine but is completely broken at > runtime. I've tested version 1.1.1 currently in unstable and testing and > it is broken as well, probably because of the migration to Wayland. Could you please push this preliminary work somewhere? It would help us (Tails) evaluate how hard it would be to fix these problems and then make a decision about our future course of action :) Cheers, -- intrigeri

Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 Hi, I'd like to remove SikuliX from the archive. This package is broken and I'm not optimistic at all about its future. Upstream has a weird way of dealing with new releases: * the source tree is subject to tremendous changes between minor releases * whole parts of the 1.1.2 source tree are missing because upstream considers them frozen; it is to the maintainer to reintegrate them from release 1.1.1 Upstream sees Linux distros as an annoying exception wrt installation from Maven repositories for Windows and Mac OSs. Because of these upstream choices the Debian patch set keeps growing for each release. I've just given a try at packaging release 1.1.2 and, after adding yet another couple of patches, it builds fine but is completely broken at runtime. I've tested version 1.1.1 currently in unstable and testing and it is broken as well, probably because of the migration to Wayland. Then I give up :/ Considering the very low popcon I think I'd rather ask for a removal.
