  • Bug#1105946: unblock: petsc/3.22.5+dfsg1-2

    From Drew Parsons@21:1/5 to All on Sat May 17 17:30:02 2025
    XPost: linux.debian.devel.release

    Package: release.debian.org
    Severity: normal
    X-Debbugs-Cc: petsc@packages.debian.org
    Control: affects -1 + src:petsc
    User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
    Usertags: unblock

    Please unblock package petsc

    [ Reason ]

    petsc migration was held up for a long long time by problems with the
    mpich package, which are only just now being resolved. In turn a large
    number of dependent packages have been held up. When mpich migrates to testing/trixie, petsc (and the clot of dependent packages) should be
    allowed to migrate too.

    [ Impact ]
    petsc 3.22.5 has a number of bugfixes which will not be available to
    users if not included in trixie.

    [ Tests ]
    debci tests for petsc as well as dependent packages are passing.
    petsc is marked as a "key" package due to the number of dependent
    packages, which is why this unblock request is needed.

    [ Risks ]
    This is a new upstream release, but upstream testing alongside debian
    debci testing mitigates risks.

    [ Checklist ]
    [. ] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
    Documented as new upstream release
    [x ] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
    [ ] attach debdiff against the package in testing
    New upstream release delayed by mpich, debdiff is not constructive.
    Upstream commits are listed at
    https://gitlab.com/petsc/petsc/-/compare/v3.22.3...v3.22.5?from_project_id=13882401

    unblock petsc/3.22.5+dfsg1-2

    Control: affects 1105946 src:petsc4py

    The impact of this unblock request is stronger than I first indicated.
    Some dependent packages have been marked with removal bugs because
    migration was delayed by mpich, petsc4py in the first instance.
    Removal of these packages will have a devastingly impact on the
    usability of trixie for numerical computation.

    The excuses already say:
    Will attempt migration (Any information below is purely informational)

    In other words, I already took care of this earlier today.

    Thanks Paul!
