We've requested removal of raku-* packages from ARMs arches on the assumption that moarvm build was not reliable on arm arches.
There are arch:all binaries involved, and the migration software doesn't allow packages on amd64 and arm64 that are currently installable to become non-installable without the Release Team overriding that.
Currently, these packages are removed from unstable, but not yet from testing because of dependencies knots that prevent migration.
And without the help of the Release Team, it will just not migrate.
So, since raku-* packages are *not* removed from testing, can we re-upload all raku package in unstable with Architecture: any ?
I don't think it matters if they are or are not removed from testing, unless you need bootstrapping. And in the latter case it doesn't help that there are binaries in testing.
And did you update the Architecture field for all packages? That must have been a PITA. Please note that keeping a list of supported architectures in the Architecture field is not really recommended anymore, see https://salsa.debian.org/debian/developers-reference/-/merge_requests/60/diffs and the bug the comment links too. So if you don't need bootstrapping you should be fine with fixing the Architecture field again.
Last but not least, we're sorry for the mess and the extra work we've imposed on release team.
Before you sent this mail, it wasn't on my radar, so it's not yet a hell of a lot of "extra work". ;)
