Dear Debian perlrdf package maintainer,

According to https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/perlrdf , your package needs
another source-only upload to be able to migrate to Debian Testing. Please
consider making another package upload to solve this problem. Thanks!

Regards,
Boyuan Yang

Hi Jonas,

I realised that the issue was opened nearly 10 years ago, pinged by you
2.5 years ago and there is no answer.  So we probably can expect this
will remain unanswered.

The Debian bug is strictly speaking serious since the package FTBFS (no
idea why none of the archive wide rebuilds catched this.)  There are
lots of updates in Git[1] with various helpful contributions.  I've
mainly stumbled upon the package since it was Build-Depending from
dh-buildinfo which should be removed.  All this is done in Git - so
it would be great to upload the current state there.

We can only profit from all these enhancements of the package if we
decide to ignore this test.  Upstream seems to be dead so nobody knows
what purpose the test serves.  IMHO it would be a proper solution to
ignore the test.  The attached patch is doing this.  I guess the Perl
experts have a more elegant method to skip tests than simply patching
it out as I did - so feel free to find a better solution but please
upload the package to get rid of one more instance of dh-buildinfo.

Kind regards
   Andreas.

Hi,

I've fixed in Salsa a long standing build-time test failure
for perlrdf: the test data was missing from the .tar.gz

I'm now trying to wrap up this package but the autopkgtest
is still failing for the same reason the build-time
tests failed previously.

https://salsa.debian.org/perl-team/modules/packages/perlrdf/-/pipelines/903898

I tried to repack the archive with a +ds suffix,
on a throwaway fork, but this still fails too.

https://salsa.debian.org/detiste-guest/perlrdf/-/pipelines/903926

Any help would be appreciated

Greetings

Alexandre

Fixed in git; cf. https://perl-team.pages.debian.net/autopkgtest.html

BTW, after the switch from cdbs to dh you can probably revert my
commits about Makefile.old (and the related changelog entry) and
close the bug in a different changelog line (but I haven't tried).


Cheers,
gregor
