Re: Bug#1040498: Should we consider the transition ready (Was: Bug#1040498: transition: r-bioc-biocgenerics)



Hi Andreas,

all r-bioc-* packages except

which is not maintained upstream and should probably be removed (as in
the last transition) and

    r-bioc-deseq
    r-bioc-isoformswitchanalyzer

are uploaded.  The latter three have new dependencies which are uploaded
to new.  Since all four exceptions are in sid only we could consider the
transition done and the majority of r-bioc-* packages can migrate to
testing.  We can wait for new processing for those three remaining
packages which does not really affect all other r-bioc-* packages.

Well, I didn't check everything yet (hint is at [1]) but at least the autopkgtest regression in r-bioc-rhdf5filters (see [2] to find that in unstable it fails too) should really be solved. For several of the other packages, you see that the right versioned (test) dependencies aren't declared, so the test pass in unstable, but fails to pull in the right dependencies when tested in the migration scenario. Also, but that's more my fault than yours, there are a bunch of packages in testing that fail their tests there because their *test* dependencies aren't in testing. Those should be pulled in by the migration scenario, but I hope none of the three packages mentioned above are needed for other tests, because then the tests will keep failing until NEW is cleared.

Well, any fix for triggered autopkgtest failure due to the lack of the right constraints (versioned (test) dependencies and/or breaks) might actually help speed up the process, because it will need less hand-holding.

PS: I'm not seeing the uploads of r-bioc-isoformswitchanalyzer and r-bioc-scater yet
