--- layout: blog week: 114 published: 2017-07-04 12:07:52 --- Here's what happened in the [Reproducible Builds](https://reproducible-builds.org) effort between Sunday June 25 and Saturday July 1 2017: Upcoming and past events ------------------------ Our [next IRC meeting is scheduled for July 6th](http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/reproducible-builds/Week-of-Mon-20170529/008785.html) at 17:00 UTC ([agenda](https://pad.riseup.net/p/reproducible-irc-meeting-10)). Topics to be discussed include an update on our next Summit, a potential NMU campaign, a press release for buster, branding, etc. Toolchain development and fixes ------------------------------- * James McCoy reviewed and merged Ximin Luo's script [debpatch](https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/devscripts.git/tree/scripts/debpatch) into the [devscripts Git repository](https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/devscripts.git/). This is useful for rebasing our patches onto new versions of Debian packages. Packages fixed and bugs filed ----------------------------- * Adrian Bunk: * [#866713](https://bugs.debian.org/866713) filed against [debhelper](https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/debhelper). * Chris Lamb: * [#865994](https://bugs.debian.org/865994) filed against [xabacus](https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/xabacus). * [#866164](https://bugs.debian.org/866164) filed against [qmidinet](https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/qmidinet). * [#866169](https://bugs.debian.org/866169) filed against [singularity-container](https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/singularity-container). * [#866330](https://bugs.debian.org/866330) filed against [cd-hit](https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/cd-hit). Ximin Luo uploaded [dash](https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/dash.html), [sensible-utils](https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/sensible-utils.html) and [xz-utils](https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/xz-utils.html) to the [deferred uploads queue](https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.html#delayed-incoming) with a delay of 14 days. (We have had patches for these core packages for over a year now and the original maintainers seem inactive so Debian conventions allow for this.)

It currently tends to use 50GB virtual, 36GB resident which is bad for everything else sharing the machine. (This is [#865660](https://bugs.debian.org/865660)) - Alexander Couzens working on testing LEDE: - Add multiple architectures / targets. - Limit LEDE and OpenWrt jobs to only allow one build at the same time using the jenkins build blocker plugin. - Move `git log -1 > .html` to node`_document _environment(). - Update TODOs. - Mattia Rizzolo working on testing Debian: - Updated the maintenance script for `postgresql-9.6`. - Restored the postgresql database from backup after Holger accidentally purged it. - Holger Levsen working on: - Merging all the above commits. - Added a check for (known) Jenkins zombie jobs and report them. (This is an long known problem with jenkins; deleted jobs sometimes come back…) - Upgraded the remaining `amd64` nodes to `stretch`. - Accidentally purged `postgres-9.4` from jenkins, so we could test our backups ;-) - Updated our stretch upgrade TODOs. Misc. ----- This week's edition was written by Chris Lamb, Ximin Luo, Holger Levsen, Bernhard Wiedemann, Vagrant Cascadian & reviewed by a bunch of Reproducible Builds folks on IRC & the mailing lists.
