An update on the dask topic.

Unfortunately I didn't manage to progress too much on this.

The current status is that I have a version od distributed that has been 
updated to v2026.3 in 
https://salsa.debian.org/antonio.valentino/dask.distributed
It should be mostly working.


My work on dask v2026.3 is still stuck.
I was having problems with pyarrow not working on python3.14 at some 
point (a couple of months ago).
Probably that problems are solved now, but I didn't have the time to 
progress since then.


Meanwhile I pushed in https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/dask 
(I hope that this is not an issue) a patch for dask2024.12.1 that should 
fix a long list of bugs (#1131056, #1131082, #1131087, #1136870, 
#1139201, #1139202, #1139203) that impact flox, trollimage, 
python-polsarpro and satpy.

Unfortunately the dask autopkgtest and uscan tests fail on salsa.
The issue seems to be unrelated but, also in this case, I still didn't 
have the time to investigate too much.


I would appreciate if someone could have a look at the to the patch for 
dask 2024.12.1 and maybe make a new upload.


In a couple of weeks ai should have some time to dedicate to the update 
of dask and, hopefully, be able to have a working v2026.3 or even 2026.6.



kind regards
