Title:
[SRU] No change rebuild for MIR
Status in retry package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in retry source package in Jammy:
Fix Released
Status in retry source package in Noble:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[ 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.
