Hi,
I strongly disagree. There is no institutional "old farts club
only".
I'm sure it's not an institutional moto; but it's how it feels
externally :-/
My experience is that if you don't have strong ties with people "on the
inside" (or write 'provocative' email like I just did) you will mostly
be ignored, plain and simple. The "normal" processes leads to dead ends
unfortunately.
The RFS for large, new packages is probably broken, but just like
everywhere it is broken because it needs knowledgeable people with
free time and motivation. And these are hard to come by. And yes,
this also drives away exactly these people. I'm sure there is a
well-known name for this problem in the world of contributor-driven
projects, software or not.
Anyway:
I was gonna upload your package to NEW,
Ho wow, thanks :-)
but it doesn't build here, and that's a prerequisite for NEW:
That's a shame.
To upload to mentors.d.o, it has to build, so yesterday it was ok.
I just tried (sbuild with the 'unshare' backend):
$ dget
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/contrib/s/serious-engine/serious-engine_0~git20230724+dfsg-1.dsc
[...]
$ sbuild -d unstable -A -s --force-orig-source *.dsc
[...]
Finished at 2025-01-08T14:05:27Z
Build needed 00:03:09, 545212k disk space
[...]
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
that's new to me.
I never tried to build it on aarch64, only amd64 :-/
So, I suppose i have to search for an old rpi3 somewhere at home and get
back to work...
br,
Sébastien
