Hello all, Most of bioconductor 3.19 has migrated to testing, but some legitimate bugs shown by running the r-bioc-rhdf5 tests on s390x are holding up 20+ packages.
I have communicated the issue to upstream, providing them with a reproducer, and helping them reproduce it on their CI. https://github.com/grimbough/rhdf5/issues/138 However I don't think it will be fixed soon, and while I have made a new release of r-bioc-rhdf5 that skips those tests, I don't feel good about that. So I propose to add a "architecture-is-little-endian" build-dep to the following packages and request the removal of their s390x builds from the archive: r-bioc-rhdf5 r-bioc-alabaster.base r-bioc-alabaster.matrix r-bioc-bsseq r-bioc-dropletutils r-bioc-hdf5array r-bioc-dss r-bioc-glmgampoi r-bioc-gsva r-bioc-demixt Two of these packages also have failing s390x tests: r-bioc-alabaster.matrix and r-bioc-alabaster.base I think the removal can be done via one request, so the only real pain is making new releases of those 11 packages. Thoughts, comments?
