Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package nickle.
I believe this was blocked as there were three uploads in the last few
days? Let me explain why that was the case:
1. nickle 2.78-1 contained a fix for FTBFS bugs 857814, 857815 and
857840, along with a few other upstream fixes and features:
* Add sudoku generator and solver example.
* Fix write order of large queued data.
* Add JSON input/output library.
* Use release date in configure.in instead of `date`
* Initialize 'replace' in NewTypedBox. (Closes: #857840, #857814, #857815)
* Adapt test to new automake.
The diffstat from the upstream changes (aside from the two additions
of example code) show that this was not a major upstream release:
21 files changed, 110 insertions(+), 63 deletions(-)
2. nickle 2.79-1 contained a single fix for a sparc64 bus error on
application startup which was found by the buildd run for 2.78-1, and
which was also present in 2.77-1.
* Fix bus error on sparc64 due to unaligned DataCache.
1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
3. nickle 2.79-2 has some packaging changes which fix a handful of
lintian issues and has no changes outside of the debian directory.
Failing to unblock 2.79-2 will cause nickle to be removed from stretch
because of the FTBFS bugs in 2.77-1. That would then cause all packages
depending on it to also be removed, including altos, which a number of
people using Altus Metrum rocketry products depend on.
Thanks for your consideration in this matter.
