XPost: linux.debian.devel.release
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User:

Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package raku-license-spdx
[ Reason ]
The version of this package in testing provides:
- source files
- pre-compiled binary files
The pre-compiled binary files depends on rakudo compiler-id.
Unfortunately, we've realized lately that this compiler-id is not
reproducible. When compiler-id changes, rakudo rebuilds all source
files and generate new pre-compiled files for the source code and all
its dependencies. This leads to package conflicts as reported in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1104468. Note that
file conflicts may happen in one arch and not in the other, so I'm
going to request unblock of all raku module packages that depend on
other raku modules.
The new release in unstable ships only source code. Rakudo compiles
these modules at run-time and store pre-compiled files in
~/.raku/precomp directory.
I'm requesting unblock for all raku package that depends on other raku
modules.
[ Impact ]
Currently, many raku modules are not installable due to these files
conflicts. Note that file conflicts may occur or not across all
architecture.
Moreover, some packages cannot be rebuilt due to dependencies not
being installable.
[ Tests ]
Like Perl5 modules, all raku modules come with a set of
non-regression tests which are run at build time.
[ Risks ] Very low. This new behavior reverts to rakudo default:
pre-compile all source files and store results in local cache.
[ Checklist ]
[x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog.
changelog mentions updated build-dep on dh-raku 0.19.
dh-raku changelog mentions that pre-compiled files are no longer generated.
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in testing
