Most of my Debian contributions this month were
sponsored by Freexian.
You can also support my work directly via
Liberapay.
OpenSSH
Changes in dropbear 2025.87
broke OpenSSH s regression
tests. I cherry-picked the fix.
I reviewed and merged
patches from Luca
Boccassi to
send and accept the
COLORTERM and
NO_COLOR environment variables.

In bookworm-backports, I updated python-django to 3:4.2.19-1.
Although Debian s upgrade to python-click 8.2.0 was
reverted for the time being, I fixed a
number of related problems anyway since we re going to have to deal with it eventually:
dh-python dropped its dependency on python3-setuptools in 6.20250306, which
was long overdue, but it had quite a bit of fallout; in most cases this was
simply a question of adding build-dependencies on python3-setuptools, but in
a few cases there was a missing build-dependency on
python3-typing-extensions which had previously been pulled in as a
dependency of python3-setuptools. I fixed these bugs resulting from this:
We agreed to
remove python-pytest-flake8.
In support of this, I removed unnecessary build-dependencies from
pytest-pylint, python-proton-core, python-pyzipper, python-tatsu,
python-tatsu-lts, and python-tinycss, and filed
#1101178 on
eccodes-python and
#1101179 on
rpmlint.
There was a
dnspython autopkgtest regression on
s390x. I independently tracked that down
to a pylsqpack bug and came up with a reduced test case before realizing
that Pranav P had already been working on it; we then worked together on it
and I uploaded their patch to Debian.
I fixed various other build/test failures:
I
enabled more tests in
python-moto
and
contributed a supporting fix
upstream.
I sponsored Maximilian Engelhardt to
reintroduce
zope.sqlalchemy.
I fixed various odds and ends of bugs:
I contributed a
small documentation improvement to
pybuild-autopkgtest(1).
Rust team
I
upgraded rust-asn1 to 0.20.0.
Science team
I finally gave in and joined the
Debian Science
Team this month, since it often has
a lot of overlap with the Python team, and Freexian maintains several
packages under it.
I fixed a uscan error in hdf5-blosc (maintained by Freexian), and upgraded
it to a new upstream version.
I fixed
python-vispy: missing dependency on numpy
abi.
Other bits and pieces
I fixed
debconf should automatically be noninteractive if input is
/dev/null.
I fixed a build failure with
GCC 15 in
yubihsm-shell (maintained by Freexian).
Prompted by a
CI failure in
debusine, I submitted a
large batch of spelling fixes and some improved static analysis to incus
(
#1777,
#1778) and
distrobuilder.
After regaining access to the repository, I fixed
telegnome: missing app
icon in About
dialogue and made a
new 0.3.7 release.
