Control: affects -1 + src:rust-bindgen-cli
User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package rust-bindgen-cli
[ Reason ]
In Bug#1103920 the Rust Team was asked to stop using 'M-A: allowed' by default
for application packages, since soon-to-be-introduced policy will require that
value to be adopted only after discussion on d-devel.
bindgen generates Rust bindings starting from C headers. bindgen:arch1 will
usually generate different bindings than bindgen:arch2. As such, bindgen's
interface is not arch-independent as required by the upcoming M-A policy, and
should be permanently set to M-A: no. The present change effectively does the
same by leaving M-A unset.
[ Impact ]
The package will violate (future) policy.
[ Tests ]
I checked that no package (build-)depends on bindgen as ':any'.
[ Risks ]
bindgen is a build-dependency of a number important packages such as chromium,
firefox, mesa, thunderbird, etc. Messing with its M-A can in principle cause
FTCBFS. However, since no package (build-)depends on bindgen as ':any' at this
time, right now this change is a no-op, in practice.
[ Checklist ]
[x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in testing
[ Other info ]
I haven't uploaded the updated revision yet. I will do so if the unblock is
approved.
