    I am Aymeric Agon-Rambosson, the maintainer of gumbo-parser, a pure C HTML5 parsing library.

    Hi!

    I recently updated the library (https://tracker.debian.org/news/1596022/accepted-gumbo-parser-0123dfsg-1-source-into-unstable/),
    but the transition to testing is blocked because of the autopkgtest of libhtml-gumbo-perl (https://ci.debian.net/packages/libh/libhtml-gumbo-perl/testing/amd64/55953076/).

    I have inquired a bit, and it turns out that the tests pass only when the bindings are first rebuilt against the updated version of the library (0.12.3+dfsg-1). Indeed, when I sbuild libhtml-gumbo-perl on my local machine, and run autopkgtest as part of the sbuild process, the tests pass.

    Thanks for your analysis. I can confirm your findings.

    As far as I know, this is the first time that it happens. It could maybe be judicious to add the build-needed restriction to the autopkgtest. Would it
    be possible in any case to trigger a rebuild of libhtml-gumbo-perl so the autopkgtest could succeed and gumbo-parser could migrate to testing ?

    That would be a binNMU,[0] but:

    I've uploaded 0.18-4 (with a versioned build dependency on
    libgumbo-dev) with some packaging updates to unstable which should
    fix the current issue.

    What is not beautiful is that the generated runtime dependency is
    still "libgumbo2 (>= 0.12.3)". There seems to be some undocumented
    API/ABI compatibility problem.


    For the future: When a prepare a new release of gumbo-parser you
    could test reverse dependencies and/or upload to experimental as a
    first step.


    Cheers,
    gregor

    Hi,

    Le samedi 4 janvier 2025 à 20:48, gregor herrmann
    <[email protected]> a écrit :

    still "libgumbo2 (>= 0.12.3)". There seems to be some

    There is, actually. I got word from upstream (https://codeberg.org/gumbo-parser/gumbo-parser/issues/3#issuecomment-2563384),
    a mere couple of hours after I send you the mail, that they should
    indeed have bumped the major version number to signal API/ABI
    breakage.

    In the meantime, they did bump the major version number. So I will
    shortly package 0.13.0, following the workflow in https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/ReleaseTeam/Transitions.

    For the future: When a prepare a new release of gumbo-parser you
    could test reverse dependencies and/or upload to experimental as
    a
    first step.

    This is what I usually do, for instance for the update from 0.10.x
    to 0.12.0. But I assumed that it was unnecessary for 0.12.0 to
    0.12.3 (according to the rules of semantic versioning that
    upstream follows).

    And I will do it now, since I now have to package 0.13.0.

    Sorry again for the trouble,

    Aymeric

    Excellent.

    Makes sense.

    No worries, things like this happen.
