  • Updating jupyter-core to 4.10.0

    From julien.puydt@gmail.com@21:1/5 to All on Thu May 5 10:00:01 2022
    Hi,

    I tried to update jupyter-core to 4.10.0, but didn't manage to run the
    upstream test suite reliably.

    I first disabled it, so the package was building with both dpkg-
    buildpackage and sbuild. A bad solution.

    Then I re-enabled it ; it passes with dpkg-buildpackage (there's a
    catch, see [1]), but not with sbuild, and I couldn't find out why.

    If someone has a clue, I'm ready to learn new tricks...

    [1] if python3-pytest-asyncio is installed on your system, you have to
    add asyncio_mode = "auto" to the relevant section of pyproject.toml,
    otherwise it breaks: pytest autoloads its asyncio plugin, which doesn't
    find this settings, hence warns about it, and a warning is an error ;
    see: https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-asyncio/issues/293

    I've had similar problems in the past. It usually comes down to the
    build requiring some package that happens to be present on your system
    but not listed in the Build-Depends field, so dpkg-buildpackage works,
    but sbuild doesn't. One thing I've done (boring, but has worked in
    this sort of case) is to search the code for any occurrences of
    "import" (patterns such as r'^\s*import\s' and
    r'^\s*from\s.*\simport\s' are useful here); it might reveal a package
    not listed in the install requirements.

    Best wishes,

    Julian

    That's indeed the usual suspect ; but here it turns out it wanted a
    writable home directory.

    I'll check it doesn't break everything then upload... probably
    tomorrow...

    Thanks!

    Ah, of course, that's the other thing I've hit in recent times with ipython-related packages. Note that writing to the home directory at build-time is a contravention of Policy; see the thread starting at https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2022/04/msg00345.html where I
    ask about pretty much the same thing, and a clear distinction is made
    between build time and autopkgtest time. You mentioned earlier that
    it's the tests that are failing; are these build-time tests or
    autopkgtest tests? If they're build-time tests, you could either
    disable them or create a temporary home directory. If they're
    autopkgtest tests, then it depends on your test environment; see that
    thread for recommendations and https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1010437 for a
    discussion of how to set up lxc with autopkgtest.

    Best wishes,

    Julian
