Hello. The experimental step of the gcc-12 transition is almost completed. The last package (gtkada) is in the NEW queue, but the queue processing time is neglectable nowadays, and the pending changes are mostly trivial.
Ada packages need to be reuploaded to/rebuilt in/removed from unstable before the freeze (2022/01/12). Here are the blocking steps. * Rebuild phcpack topal ada-reference-manual whitakers-word in experimental, fix unexpected problems and/or confirm that they can be rebuilt with gnat-12. I expect/hope this to be straightforward. * Fix libgnatcoll-db libgmpada https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=libgnatcoll-db&arch=mipsel&ver=23%7E20220814-1&stamp=1661841082&raw=0 https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=libgmpada&arch=i386&ver=1.5-1&stamp=1661971646&raw=0 These issues do not seem trivial. * Update ASIS and/or build it/its reverse dependencies with gcc-10 for a few Debian stable releases. This does not seem realistic, but help is welcome. I intend to remove any blocking package from unstable and start reuploading to unstable around 2022/12/19. (fixed packages can be reintroduced until the freeze) GHDL is different. The right way forward in my opinion is to Build-Depend: gnat-12, dh-ada-library (>= 8.1) (yes, only in experimental for now). Even if we fail to reupload other packages to unstable, removing the dependency on dh-ada-library (>= 8.1) will be straightforward in the ghdl case (only build flags and gnat version, less than an hour if all goes well).
