  • Bug#1100597: opencl-clang-1{7,8}: remove from Debian?

    From =?UTF-8?Q?Jeremy_B=C3=ADcha?=@21:1/5 to bunk@debian.org on Fri Apr 11 17:20:01 2025

    goal is impossible?

    I think it was appropriate for these packages to be removed from
    Testing because of https://bugs.debian.org/1084089

    However, the Debian Release Team replied there yesterday and it looks
    like that is no longer RC for Trixie. Therefore, I am downgrading.

    Thank you,

    It is usually not very helpful to get non-key leaf packages removed
    without an idea what the hardest part of a removal is and a plan for
    that.

    Filing an RC bug against opencl-clang-18 doesn't make much sense without
    filing an RC bug against ghc.

    Usually a good starting point is asking what you have to do to make a
    package a non-key package.

    Removing non-key packages does not help with that.

    Thank you,
