Bug#1054657: Transition ready? (Was: Transition seems to be blocked (Was: Bug#1054657: transition: r-bioc-biocgenerics))



Hi,

Not built on buildd: arch all binaries uploaded by tille, a new

I do not understand this line.  What exact package needs a source-only
upload?

You uploaded binaries together with the source. Because this is an arch:all binary we can't binNMU in a meaningful way and we don't accept uploader built binaries in testing anymore. Currently the only way to solve this is by doing a source-only (so, no binaries) upload (of r-bioc-biocgenerics).

Remember, all r-bioc-* packages need to migrate together, so all of
your uploads need to be ready before r-bioc-biocgenerics can migrate.
I checked only the first few "Migrates after" links from [1], and
found at least these packages still show autopkgtest regressions
[2][3][4][5][6].

Thank you for these links.  Could you please explain how I can obtain
these myself?  Is there any page I could look at for some kind of
summary?

I read in Graham's message that he started at [1] and just clicked the links. I don't think there's a great web site yet ([tracker] comes close), except udd has all the information which can be queried and *all* excuses can be viewed too [excuses] (or processed [yaml]).

This shows:
   autopkgtest for r-bioc-biocsingular/1.16.0+ds-1: amd64: Regression or new test...

but that version of r-bioc-biocsingular is in testing and bound
to fail.  Version 1.18.0+ds matches to BioC API 3.18.

I wonder if it might be that britney2 doesn't notice that if it needs to take r-bioc-biocgenerics from unstable to run a test, that r-api-bioc-3.17 is no longer provided and hence also the test needs to come from unstable. Obviously there's room for improvement there, but the amount of code to determine the set of pinned packages from unstable is already rather long. [britney2]

I admit I have no idea what to do.  If the migration issues are
caused by running tests against versions in testing which can't
pass something is broken.

They *should* be scheduled with the test from unstable, as the binaries depend on r-api-bioc-3.17 which will no longer be available when r-bioc-biocgenerics is used from unstable.

Please let me know if I
can do something to fix the situation, but for the moment I have no idea
what to do.

Patches for britney2 please ;).

I'll try to do some manual triggering of tests tonight/tomorrow, but after a quick glance, that might be too much to handle manually.
