• What to do with partman-hfs?

    From Cyril Brulebois@21:1/5 to All on Mon Sep 12 17:00:01 2022
    Hi Holger and partman-hfs maintainers,

    So we have that package that's a little weird:

    partman-hfs | 4 | unstable/contrib | source, all

    And we have calc-release-status that computes the translation-status
    file, so that we can make an informed decision based on the selected
    language. That script uses rmadison to check the version in testing
    for each component, and that package doesn't migrate:
    https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/partman-hfs

    I don't think it can migrate without help, since hfs-modules is only
    built on non-release archs as I understand it, which don't match those
    where the release team tests installability:

    kibi@tokyo:~/debian-kernel/linux.git (sid=)$ find -name hfs-modules
    ./debian/installer/modules/hfs-modules
    ./debian/installer/modules/m68k/hfs-modules
    ./debian/installer/modules/powerpc/hfs-modules
    ./debian/installer/modules/powerpc-powerpc64/hfs-modules

    Until partman-hfs (possibly) hits testing, I'm tempted to ignore it
    in calc-release-status, instead of dropping it entirely from the
    l10n infrastructure: I suppose the latter would mean lower chances for translators to work on this package?


    Cheers,

    You can just ignore it. It also depends on a package that is in non-free (hfsprogs), so I assume we wouldn't be able to release it anyway.

    Yeah, I didn't even talk about contrib. :)

    Thanks for confirming, ignoring it in the l10n script via the packages_exceptions mechanism:

    Thanks. FWIW, the very busy and dutiful Debian translation team has already translated the package into most languages. Since I don't expect the text
    to change any time so, it's safe to ignore it.

    I am very glad it was translated so quickly. Thanks to everyone who helped :-).

    Speaking of which, there were a few packages mentioned on [1], and I've
    just uploaded that bunch; I will likely unblock-udeb [2] and urgent them
    so that they can be used in the upcoming release.

    1. https://d-i.debian.org/translations.txt
    2. https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2022/09/msg00000.html

    And… partman-hfs was one of them. Apparently, it's buildd-built and a source-only upload should do the trick (that's what Holger did so far),
    but I thought I'd mention it anyway.
