I'm having trouble understanding what you wrote here. Did something in Debian now break the old ruby-marcel and you had to update ruby-marcel? If so, can you try again to explain how that happened? If not, I don't think you "had to bump ruby-marcel because of the mimemagic dependency"? Paul OpenPGP_signature Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Bug#989036: unblock: ruby-marcel/1.0.1+dfsg-2
Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian@packages.debian.org Usertags: unblock X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-r...@lists.debian.org Hello, We had to bump ruby-marcel to a newer version because the mimemagic dependency - which relies on GPL-licensed mime type data from freedesktop.org’s shared-mime-info project - is removed. Marcel now directly uses mime type data adapted from the Apache Tika project, distributed under the Apache License. This is the only major change here + some other bug fixes to get everything working. ruby-marcel has been in unstable for around 9 days now[1]; I've done some testing and it all works OK w/ Bullseye, so it should be good to go. [1]: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/ruby-marcel Since this is licensing + bug fix, I believe it'd be a good idea to have this included in Bullseye; this is also needed for rails to be unblocked (another separate request). Attaching a filtered debdiff for your review. The command used to filter the debdiff is as follows: filterdiff --exclude='*/APACHE-LICENSE' --exclude='*/.*' --exclude='*/data/*' --exclude='*/script/*' --exclude='*/test/*' --exclude='*/Gemfile.lock' --exclude='*/README.md' ../ruby-marcel.debdiff Let me know if you need any other information from my end. Thanks! - u ruby-marcel_filtered.debdiff Description: Binary data
