Could the Foundations Team please take over maintenance of ilmbase? ilmbase was added to main with LP: #240943. It is only in main because of imagemagick (via openexr) and the Foundations Team maintains imagemagick.
There is nothing the Ubuntu Desktop Team needs from ilmbase and the Ubuntu Desktop Team is not interested in manually maintaining C++ symbols across architectures every time Debian wants to update this package. Also, if having a symbols file is indeed Required for inclusion in main even for C++ packages, it ought to be added to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionRequirements I understand that force syncing ilmbase today so quickly looks bad, but it was able to clean up the 20+ openexr reverse dependencies that failed to build because the new openexr version required ilmbase to be updated. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #815633 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=815633 ** Also affects: ilmbase (Debian) via https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=815633 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ilmbase in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1770748 Title: ilmbase symbols files were dropped by the forced merge Status in ilmbase package in Ubuntu: New Status in ilmbase package in Debian: Unknown Bug description: the last ilmbase forced sync dropped the ilmbase symbols files "just for convenience", because maintenance apparently costs too much effort. So we are dropping the patches which we required for the package to be in main. I don't think this is a sensible move, and the symbol files should be re-added before the package migrates to the release pocket. I also think that the behavior of "delegating" these changes to another maintenance team is inappropriate. Setting the block-proposed flag for now, until the symbol filed are re-added again.
