+1 maintenance report

[Adrien Nader]

Hello,

I was on +1 from 2023/02/13 to 2023/02/17.

Due to the size of the queues, I decided to start with the oldest
issues.

# sparse
I'm under the impression that upstream doesn't run their own testsuite
at the moment.
For instance, there is a diagnostic which has been changed in 2019 in
2094267c7d36d8696897c509558fc63e8a695765 and new testcases have been
added with that diagnostic but older ones have not been updated
accordingly (the one failing because of that change has been created in
2018 and hasn't been changed since then).
All in all this seemed to much for a +1 shift and I didn't act on the
package.

# blurhash-python
I tried to reproduce the issue which occured on armhf but I didn't
manage to. There were actually two different issues and that made me
think the issues were unrelated to this package. Due to the size of the
queues, I didn't ask for re-triggers.

# python3-cssutils
FTBFS.
Sergio had a look at this a few days ago; I took it further.
Development stopped in 2017 and someone else resumed it later on but the
package source has not changed since then. Some things changed in the
land of python2/3; some have been patched over the years and it seems
this could be done again but I'm not sure there are people interested in
doing that anymore.
There are a number of issues related to this lack of update:
- "python3-cssutils: Please package latest version 2.4.0" - https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1009955
- FTBFS - https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1026728
  Marked for autoremoval on 15 March: #1026728
- "FTBFS during dh_auto_test" - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cssutils/+bug/2006741

I've opened a ticket titled "How compatible to 1.0 is the 2.4 version?"
at https://github.com/jaraco/cssutils/issues/31 in order to get a hint
about the impact of the possible version jump but didn't get a reply so
far.

I didn't get to actually drop it last week but that's what should be
done (I think I have time to do it but I need to learn that).

# crystal
It build-depends on itself. It is causing issues in Debian too. I'm not
sure what to do exactly; drop it too?

# bettercap-caplets
This depends on bettercap-ui which is uninstallable since it's not
packaged and I haven't seen work towards packaging it (it being an
electron app probably doesn't help). I think the caplets don't make much
sense without the UI. I'm not sure why it's being kept in Debian and
updated there; maybe for some downstream distributions.

# ocaml-odoc/ocaml-odoc-parser
I believe the issue has been fixed in debian and the packages will
migrate to testing in a couple days.

# ddnet
Added to big_packages. Interestingly, this didn't require being a big
package on my computer. I guess the testbed had less available memory
for some reason; I tested with various amounts of memory and the tests
started failing around 1.5G - 64M of memory. It might be a good idea to
test packages with less than 1.5G of memory on our machines, maybe 1.4G;
packages that get that close to the limit are likely to go over it
rather sooner than later and they are also probably slowed down
noticeably due to the low memory situation.

# other
Got many tests re-triggered. More tests than usual encountered
connectivity issues and that was the vast majority of the re-triggers I
asked for.
