commit 91c6c47435f5de8d53bb50dd6a07d18dd4a64c5c
Author: mirabilos <m$(date +%Y)@mirbsd.de>
Date:   Sun Dec 28 15:47:53 2025 +0000

    just call it g, it’s not asan’d in quite many builds

commit a73bc7762abafcbce1b2d3b0731141777bbfdb42
Author: mirabilos <m$(date +%Y)@mirbsd.de>
Date:   Sun Dec 28 15:38:27 2025 +0000

    show if mksh-g is built with asan when testing it

commit 079f29e8458549a35234fa59c3be2dfbffc47d52
Author: mirabilos <m$(date +%Y)@mirbsd.de>
Date:   Sun Dec 28 15:32:56 2025 +0000

    reduce amount of compile+link-time tests for ASan
    
    based on build logs of sid, my PPA, and my wtf repo
    
    also only add libubsan if actually in use

commit ec034da38cfa88c77294642e95475991202b14b2
Author: mirabilos <m$(date +%Y)@mirbsd.de>
Date:   Sun Dec 28 15:09:27 2025 +0000

    add support for Architecture-Variant
    
    (currently in *buntu only however I’d rather see this
    in Debian than they raising the baseline which would
    exclude my amd64 systems)

commit 0474b9ed48223c800dfe8a64566d68650bfeba47
Author: mirabilos <m$(date +%Y)@mirbsd.de>
Date:   Sun Dec 28 14:32:59 2025 +0000

    give mtest-select-works two seconds Karenzzeit for
    utterly slow riscv64 builders and slow ASan’d mksh-g

commit c901ce312fb5e140b582bdd176293d56944e2963
Author: mirabilos <m$(date +%Y)@mirbsd.de>
Date:   Sun Dec 28 12:06:59 2025 +0000

    move to more logical place
    
    fixup for commit 01afeccba77b625c1a1443e556b8609faf13c145

commit 28d298258ebf094f9d8427c327a4f0000bb37a81
Author: mirabilos <m$(date +%Y)@mirbsd.de>
Date:   Sun Dec 28 11:28:59 2025 +0000

    add -Wl,--no-relax to mksh-g on wheezy/trusty and up
    
    reason: “relax” performs extra optimisations that…
    - may break debugging
    - make linking on riscv64 *really* slow
    
    (over 7½ minutes vs. 2¾ seconds, vs. 1 second without
     -static-libasan -static-libubsan and ½ second without
     any ASan/UBSan at all)
    
    thanks to Stefan O'Rear (sorear on #debian-ports IRC)

testing migrations

excuses:
- Migration status for mksh (59c-41 to 59c-43): Waiting for test results or another package, or too young (no action required now - check later)
- Issues preventing migration:
- ∙ ∙ Too young, only 4 of 7 days old
- Additional info (not blocking):
- ∙ ∙ Piuparts tested OK - https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/m/mksh.html
- ∙ ∙ Autopkgtest for mksh/59c-43: amd64: Pass, arm64: Pass, i386: Pass, ppc64el: Pass, riscv64: Pass, s390x: Pass
- ∙ ∙ Ignoring non-reproducibility on amd64 (not a regression) - info ♻
- ∙ ∙ Ignoring non-reproducibility on arm64 (not a regression) - info ♻
- ∙ ∙ Required age reduced by 3 days because of autopkgtest
- Not considered
