Hi,
I am looking for review and sponsorship of a QA upload for mono.
The package is orphaned and currently maintained by the Debian QA Group,
so this is prepared as a QA-upload candidate rather than an NMU.
The bug this addresses is:
#1135240
mono-runtime: cli-common GAC registration no longer works after
mono-gac integration was dropped
That bug blocks the user-visible reproducer in:
#1133410
repetier-host: Could not load file or assembly
The proposed upload is:
mono 6.14.1+ds2-3
Summary of the fix:
- restore /usr/share/cli-common/runtimes.d/mono in mono-runtime
- re-add Recommends: cli-common for mono-runtime
- add an autopkgtest smoke check for the restored backend
Validation:
- built successfully in a clean unstable-amd64-sbuild schroot
- in a clean sid schroot, libopentk1.1-cil.postinst again installs
the OpenTK assemblies into the Mono GAC through the normal
cli-common path
- gacutil -l OpenTK then shows the OpenTK assembly after normal
package installation
- repetier-host under xvfb-run gets past the original
System.TypeLoadException / missing OpenTK failure from #1133410
- lintian on the refreshed source upload set exits 0 with warnings
only
The patch and debdiff are already attached to #1135240:
https://bugs.debian.org/1135240
I also have a signed source upload set locally if a sponsor wants me to
send it directly.
If someone is willing to review or sponsor this QA upload, I would
appreciate it.
Regards,
James
