[Nick Morrott (nickm)]

Package: python3-pyocd
Version: 0.36.0-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

The upload of python3-pyocd 0.36.0-1 appears to be completely unusable:

The build log reports several missing dependencies:

I: dh_python3 pydist:302: Cannot find package that provides cmsis_pack_manager.
I: dh_python3 pydist:302: Cannot find package that provides libusb_package.
I: dh_python3 pydist:302: Cannot find package that provides pylink_square.


Although present in the distribution, no tests are configured to run at build time.

Hi,

thanks for the report.

I also noticed this while working on the adoption of the package.

This particular problem can be worked around easily, but it's unfortunately
not the only one.

My current plan is to disable jlink support as a first step as it needs
non-free components.

The other problem is the usage of an abomination called "libusb_packaging"
which needs to be replaced completely.

I have a locally patched version that looks good, will try and upload a new
version later today.

Cheers,
sur5r
