[14:38] <kamal> hi, I'm looking for an SRU-team member ...  an SRU package in the unapproved SRU queue has been determined to be invalid, so I'd like it de-queued:  fldigi (3.22.04-1ubuntu1) for vivid
[14:57] <stgraber> hmm, so I'm trying to figure out why golang isn't migrating to the release pocket and my britney skills appear too limited for that... update_excuses lists it as a valid candidate and update_output mentions something about vim-gocomplete which seems a bit odd since it doesn't depend on golang and can be co-installed fine (just tried in a wily-proposed container)
[14:58] <stgraber> infinity: if you happen to still/already be around? ^
[15:08] <cjwatson> stgraber: vim-gocomplete depends on vim-syntax-go, which is no longer produced by the latest golang source
[15:08] <cjwatson> cf. https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/g/golang/changelog-2%3A1.4.2-3 2:1.4.1-1~exp1
[15:09] <ogra_> needs renaming ... vim-gone-complete :)
[15:10] <cjwatson> http://bugs.debian.org/786891
[15:10] <cjwatson> stgraber: I think it just needs gocode to be migratable too
[15:11] <cjwatson> stgraber: which requires gocode not to FTBFS on powerpc, which ISTR is not the only Go-related package with this problem on that arch
[15:13] <tedg> infinity, Were you able to get Mir building on PPC?
[15:16] <stgraber> cjwatson: ah, right, so stuck on that gccgo bug then
[15:16] <stgraber> cjwatson: thanks for the analysis
[15:17] <stgraber> and yeah, a lot of things are failing with recent gccgo on powerpc, doko is aware and looking into this
[15:18] <doko> cjwatson, stgraber: can't find the time for that, so I would propose to remove the powerpc binaries. but then again, I don't know if snappy is needed on powerpc ...
[15:19] <stgraber> and I don't suppose reverting to vivid's gccgo is an option? that one worked fine IIRC
[15:20] <stgraber> (it's not just snappy, this bug also affects docker, lxd, ... so we can certainly live a few weeks without powerpc support, but we can't release 15.10 like that)
[15:22] <doko> I know. I verified that I can build ~rc1 in wily, but, wasn't able to bisect any change which let's this fail on powerpc. even 5.1.0-1 is broken
[15:23] <doko> and for some reason, it works in unstable on powerpc
[16:55] <infinity> doko: Yeah, the part where it works in sid but not wily is driving me batty too.  I was really hoping we'd magically fix it with the binutils merge, but no such luck. :(
[16:56] <infinity> doko: And, in principle, I'm okay with removing ppc Go binaries to get past this, *but* the different results between sid and wily point to something Very Bad going on here, and I'd like to understand what's going on before just handwaving past it.
