check https://ci.debian.net/packages/c/cross-toolchain-base-mipsen/testing/amd64/ cross-toolchain-base-mipsen/2 fails its tests with binutils/2.32.51.20190707-1, and from what I understand that's quite expected actually. In turn, it blocks gcc-* because they require the new binutils. And quite a few other packages all waiting on binutils, look at https://release.debian.org/britney/update_excuses.html and grep for "binutils (not considered)". Having a package tangled with the toolchain is very easy for it to cause quite some stalls. > > From my knowledge, Matthias already warned the porters about this > > potential removal if cross-toolchain-base-mipsen went unfixed, but > > nothing happened. > > I am very sorry for it as I forgot it. According to Matthias, he is quite unhappy about how the mips porters deal with this, with him asking "you" to fix stuff but then he found himself forced to do it instead. Please consider being more proactive in the maintenance of these kind of packages, as you otherwise risk irking people… -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 66AE 2B4A FCCF 3F52 DA18 4D18 4B04 3FCD B944 4540 .''`. more about me: https://mapreri.org : :' : Launchpad user: https://launchpad.net/~mapreri `. `'` Debian QA page: https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=mattia `-
