Hi Salvo, Many thanks for your kind words. I do my little bit like yourself and others for the better Debian we strive to deliver to users. Yes, the description is a bit Go centric, but it is useful for other arch dependant packages. A little more information is available in the 'README.md' in its Salsa repo, see link below. https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/ratt I hope having this test leads to feedback to the 'ratt' package and improve it for all. I think the use of 'licenserecon - lrc' has led to increased user usage and useful feedback to that package and I hope the same for 'ratt'. My infrastructure is primarily two laptops. * Debian testing on a i5-8265U, 32GB RAM, 1TB NVME laptop. * RHEL 9.x on a Ultra 7 155H, 32GB RAM, 1TB NVME laptop. This has a 100GB Debian testing builder VM. Many other test VMs. The biggest thing I have is time, the one thing others have a distinct lack of. A previous career has taken its toll on my spine with damage at the base and sever damage at the top (neck). Surgeons will not operate as it could make my condition worse or paralyse me, so we are left managing my pain and lack of mobility (cannot walk more than 10m at a time). As you say, exceptions. ratt is not for all packages, the test is certainly none blocking, but I hope any issues raised having the test will make for good bug reports, communication and avoid unnecessary breakage.
