Please drop shaarli (and associated components) from impish

[Bryce Harrington]

Remove shaarli and its dependencies php-oscarotero-gettext and php-slim from impish. Per Debian's popcon, shaarli does not appear to be widely installed (https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=shaarli).

In LP: #1931315, the Laravel ecosystem (aka php-illuminate-*) was removed from impish due to issues building and testing it with PHP 8, newer PSR, and other newer php components. php-oscarotero-gettext depends on php-illuminate-database (c.f. https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-impish/impish/amd64/p/php-oscarotero-gettext/20210611_231608_617be@/log.gz) and thus is now uninstallable. This in turn prevents php-twig and symfony from migrating, which in turn hinder the PHP 8 migration.

The only thing needing shaarli is fbx-all, which Suggests it. fbx-all is a metapackage for the Freedombox hardware product's FOSS software. Freedombox targets Debian specifically (not Ubuntu), so the impact of not carrying shaarli in Ubuntu looks minimal.

Is php-slim itself blocking the migration? If not, we would normally leave such a package in - rather than removing it solely because nothing else depends on it. In particular, if Debian fixes php-oscarotero-gettext, we would want shaarli to be available+installable again without additional work to resurrect php-slim.

[Utkarsh Gupta (utkarsh)]

Hi Steve,

Thanks for processing the removals. php-slim is making php-psr-container uninstallable, which in turns block other stuff. Since shaarli is now removed, this is actually not needed atm. So please process its removal as well?

php-slim has an RC bug (#982094), which actually state that it's useless w/o shaarli. So all the more reason to get rid of it atm :)

Thank you!

[Utkarsh Gupta (utkarsh)]

Hi Steve,

Well, there's only php-simple. It's useless w/o shaarli. RC bug #982133.
I've added a task for both, php-slim & php-simple. Request you to please process their removal. It's blocking symfony & php-psr-container, which in turn, block others.

$ reverse-depends -b php-pimple
Reverse-Build-Depends
* php-slim

$ reverse-depends php-pimple

* php-slim

Thank you!

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

Thanks. It's important to be clear about the rationale for removing any given package, rather than "associated components" since if the "associated" components are not themselves buggy, it causes confusion to remove them and then have to bring them back later.

Thank you, Steve! \o/

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

The source packages for some of these have resurfaced in jammy. It looks like upstream has updated them, however they still mostly FTBFS. As before, nothing on our end requires this set of packages

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

All of these packages have been deleted from jammy-proposed.

php-slim was re-introduced in lunar-proposed (sync'd).

It will not build due to the dependencies removed in the past for this bug. Moreover, due to the current PSR issue, it is better to keep the laravel stack and the packages listed above removed until we are able to sync the PSR stack back with Debian (most likely when symfony 6 lands in Debian).

Please, remove php-slim from lunar-proposed and block it from sync'ing back in.

[Sergio Durigan Junior (sergiodj)]

Marking php-slim as Triaged on Lunar (suggested by xnox). The removal request is still applicable.

I guess having to remove it 3 times is enough; blacklisted.

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

kanboard 1.2.26+ds-1 got synced to lunar/mantic and failed to build because it build-depends on php-pimple. Assuming the blacklist reason is still valid, please remove and block kanboard from syncing until then.
