Public bug reported: [ Impact ]
* `retry` has become a dependency of `autopkgtest`, and `autopkgtest` has an SRU exception to get updated to older releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#autopkgtest Since `autopkgtest` is in `main`, `retry` needs to be too, which led to an MIR described in bug 2076381. The MIR got approved, and `retry` has already been promoted on Oracular, but it seems impossible to promote it on Jammy and Noble because it's not in the `-updates` pockets (see comment #9 on the MIR bug). I'm thus submitting a no change rebuild SRU to Jammy and Noble, so that the MIR can complete. [ Test Plan ] * `retry` has some dep8 test, even already on the Jammy version, and those should be green. * Manual verification that the `retry` package installs correctly, and the provided binary runs fine: ``` sudo apt install retry retry --help # should display help retry --until=success -- false # should run forever retry --until=success --delay "1,2,4,8,16,32,64" -- false # should repeat forever with increasing delay until 64 seconds ``` [ Where problems could occur ] * For some reason the newly rebuilt binary could be buggy because of some compilation issue. It's a fairly simple single C file, so I expect if that one doesn't work, there might be issues for other packages too. * If `retry` breaks for some reason, that might also break its dependencies. `rdepends` shows that only `debci`, and soon to be `autopkgtest` depend on `retry`. That makes the list pretty small, and only packages used by developers (and actually used by my team for `autopkgtest`), so we should spot the issue pretty quickly and we will need to work on it, which should mitigate having long standing unfixed bugs. [ Other Info ] * Nothing that I can think of. ** Affects: retry (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Fix Released ** Affects: retry (Ubuntu Jammy) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: retry (Ubuntu Noble) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2080616 Title: [SRU] No change rebuild for MIR To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/retry/+bug/2080616/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
