In debian, they have a thing called auto-transition tracker which attempts to identify a change of library ABIs and automatically create a ben transition tracker.
I have started to manually run that, and commit the trackers to our instance. https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/transitions/ At first It identified a few tiny (~10) transitions, which were partially incomplete. And I uploaded them straight away. I have now did a new run, and there were a few transitions dropped (migrated) and a few new ones added. Now the interesting bit about the auto-* transition trackers are those that are 100% complete, yet not migrating => it means that set of packages is most likely not-installable as a whole or has autopkgtest regressions. Thus they are very good targets for investigation as a whole. As one might be able to fix a few regressions and get 10+ packages migrate from -proposed to release pocket. I hope we can drive all auto-* transition trackers to completion soon enough! If you want help, guidance or sponsorship in completing any of the auto-* transitions to migrate, feel free to reach out to me. The exact way i run auto-transitions is this: git clone https://release.debian.org/transitions/auto-transition cd auto-transition/ mkdir -p output/finished output/ongoing output/planned python2 ./auto-transitioner.py ../ubuntu-cdimage/ftp/dists/focal ../ubuntu-cdimage/ftp/dists/focal ../ubuntu-cdimage/ftp/dists/focal-proposed output/ (I am pretending that focal is testing & unstable, and focal-proposed is experimental) Then rm all the auto-linux-*, rm all the auto-* trackers in our tracker config repo, and move all new trackers to ongoing. Ideally I hope to run this automatically on ~ubuntu-archive reports machine, and ideally point testing to focal, point sid to something that has appropriately merged focal&focal-proposed, and point experimental at debian experimental, since this way we will see upcomming transitions properly. -- Regards, Dimitri. -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
