Server Team - Proposed Migration Notes

This collects notes and findings from the server team's proposed migration page for the current development release. This page lists packages that are stuck in proposed due to a variety of issues, some of which are in-scope for the server team, others of which may have broader causes.

Blocked Packages

Below are the server team's collective guesses as to what's going on with some of the packages listed as .

Pacemaker

Pacemaker has been stuck for a while. Andreas believes the current blockage is due to python3.8. He somewhat traced it down to: pacemaker -> pacemaker-resource-agents -> resource-agents -> cluster-glue -> python3.8 -> libpython3.8-stdlib -> libffi

cluster-glue

Andreas recently rebuilt cluster-glue, which was still using python3.7, but more is needed.

Samba

Regarding samba, Andreas had to merge two i386 hints (for samba/i386 and tdb/i386), trigger rebuilds after ldb/talloc/tdb were uploaded, and kick new test runs with specific triggers to sort out tdb runs with plinth and samba itself.

sssd

sssd has an FTBFS with python3.8, which Andreas started to troubleshoot last night (Mon Jan 27, 2020) and will continue today. That rebuild needs to work to unblock all of this.

ldb

ldb is stuck because of python3-defaults, which still has many reds.

Current Transitions Notes

Cluster Stack Transition

There may be some residual items from this migration.

Python 3.8 Transition

These items appear blocked due to the https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/transitions/html/python3.7-8.html python 3.8 transition.

Final Notes

The proposed migration list is highly volatile; packages come and go on a regular basis. So, if this page's last update is more than a few days ago it is probably outdated. If it hasn't been updated in a few weeks, it's probably obsolete. (And if it hasn't been updated in a few months, please feel free to delete it since it's evidently no longer used.)
