Dear all, Here is a short summary of the short meeting we had earlier today:
- Lucas Kanashiro talked a bit about the state of ruby3.0. We are not
ready to try to include it into Bullseye. In experimental, the support
to build binary extensions with ruby3.0 is enabled. In the coming
month, Lucas will do an rebuild of Ruby packages with ruby3.0 and
start triaging issues and reporting bugs.
- Lucas also summarized the issue we had with the rubygems package
looking for a special file in packages listing binary extensions in
gemspecs and not using the gem layout. Following David Suárez's
suggestion, gem2deb has been fixed #972702 to remove the mention of
extensions in gemspec (no need to build them when installing binary
packages), and binNMU to rebuild the affected packages have been
requested, and everything should be fine now. If you discover the
issue in a package which has not been fixed, ping kanashiro :)
- Utkarsh Gupta showed us the github webpage of rubocop-packaging,
indicated that already (at least) 100 projects on Github are using it!
Yay \o/
- Cédric Boutillier asked if we have a list of urgent matters to
fix/decide before the freeze in a few months. We could not find
nothing big. If you have ideas, then please send them to the mailing
list
- Cédric also asked if there are tools to measure at the team level
statistics about freshness of the packaging is a nice way.
Something a bit like
https://trends.debian.net/
but for teams.
At the time of alioth, it was easy to get statistics directly running
scripts through ssh on the team directory accross all repositories.
With salsa it is not so convenient, and the number of packages
increased a lot. For example, what is the proportion of packages using
the gem install layout, or the debhelper compat level 13?
Maybe we could contact Lucas Nussbaum to see how we could get this
data by adapting his tools?
Another source of data is the team metrics project
https://wiki.debian.org/Teammetrics/API
http://blends.debian.net/liststats/
but with a different focus.
If you have numbers for this, it would be nice, and maybe would help
to drive some efforts for the next release.
I remember that a long time ago, we had a nice webpage, with a graph
showing the transition from SVN to git. But I don't know how it
worked...
Best wishes,
Cédric
