Bug#1030361: ITP: libblkio -- library for high-performance block device I/O with support for multi-queue devices
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Michael Tokarev X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org, Stefan Hajnoczi * Package name: libblkio Version : v1.2.2 Upstream Author : The libblkio Contributors * URL : https://libblkio.gitlab.io/libblkio * License : MIT or Apache 2.0 Programming Lang: Rust, C Description : Library for high-performance block device I/O with support for multi-queue devices Applications are increasingly integrating high-performance I/O interfaces such as Linux io_uring, userspace device drivers, and vhost-user device support. The effort required to add each of these low-level interfaces into an application is relatively high. libblkio provides a single API for efficiently accessing block devices and eliminates the need to write custom code for each one. This package will be used by block device backends in qemu, to begin with, to provide virtualised access to block devices. The core of it is written in rust, but it is used from C-language code too. It also needs some rust crates to be packaged too (I'm working on that). /mjt

how to skip some archs for autopkgtests
How do I skip some known impossible to check architectures in autopkgtests? Concretely, the packages src:rust-hyper-rustls and src:rust-rustls-native-certs both fail on powerpc64 and s390x, due to missing packages on those architectures: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/rust-hyper-rustls https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/rust-rustls-native-certs It is *not* that the packages are unusable on those architectures - or at least that is yet unknown. Instead, the underlying complexity is that the autopkgtest-dependencies are architecture-independent source code but packaged as architecture-dependent and not offered on those architectures. Any thoughts on how¹ to proceed? - Jonas ¹ ...other than give up and package as architecture-dependent. -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ * Sponsorship: https://ko-fi.com/drjones [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private signature.asc Description: signature
Debian Med video conference next Sunday 2023-02-05 18:00 UTC
Hi, this is the call for the next video conference of the Debian Med team that are an established means to organise the tasks inside our team. We diverge from our usual rule First Friday of a month Third Sunday of a month since I'm traveling today and thus we agreed on Matrix to meet on Sunday. Meetings usually take us only 15-20min depending what we are talking about and how many people are joining. The next meeting is Friday 18:00 UTC https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20230106T18 The meeting is on the Debian Social channel https://jitsi.debian.social/DebianMedCovid19 These video meetings were started in the Debian Med Biohackathon. The topic is what contributors have done in the past period and to coordinate the work until the next meeting. For those who are interested in hot topics we want to tackle, here are some items: - Short evaluation of the sprint in Berlin - Trying hard to get all packages migrating to testing - Pushing latest versions of our software Newcomers are always welcome. Lets keep on the great work and see you on Sunday Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de

There is a "skip-not-installable" that you could decleare in d/t/control for these packages (for the corresponding tests that suffer from uninst test deps), more details here[1] Another way is to declare "Architecture: !s390x !ppc64el" in d/t/control but I think this is in-appropriate for the said case.

Any thoughts on how¹ to proceed? The current best way is to ask the release team to hint the package through. The problem here is that the migration software of the Release Team isn't smart enough (and there are cases where I believe there's just information missing in our control files) to figure out to not schedule some of those tests. But as the migration software looks at regressions, once the test is accepted to fail in testing, it's no longer a problem (except it looks unpleasant on your ci.d.n page). (It's a bit like the recent FTBFS on some architecture discussion we had here). Another way is to declare "Architecture: !s390x !ppc64el" in d/t/control but I think this is in-appropriate for the said case. It's not in-appropriate, but it feels like just another place to keep track of things. So I think a one-time action is better than such a place that you have to keep up-to-date. Also, if it at one day happens to succeed, you get it for free. But if you rather not bother the Release Team Paul OpenPGP_signature Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Bug#1030397: ITP: libio-file-withfilename-perl -- filehandles that know their origin
Package: wnpp
Owner: Mason James
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-devel@lists.debian.org, debian-p...@lists.debian.org
* Package name: libio-file-withfilename-perl
Version : 0.01
Upstream Author : Ivan Fomichev
* URL : https://metacpan.org/release/IO-File-WithFilename
* License : Artistic or GPL-1+
Programming Lang: Perl
Description : filehandles that know their origin
IO::File::WithFilename does everything that IO::File does, but implements
filename method, that File::Temp objects have. It lets you write the code
that is ignorant of what classes of objects it works with.
If you want to check if it is safe to call filename method, you are
recommended to call can method rather than to check an object's inheritance:
print $obj->filename, "\n" if eval { $obj->can('filename') };
