Indeed, I see how one can be surprised at first. It happened to me too a few years ago! ;) Those are only useful (therefore built) on a few architectures. You can see that in the Architecture field of their debian/control file. If you're looking at l10n changes, (source-)uploading looks good. But maybe keep an eye on the build logs to make sure there are no new FTBFSes (failure to build from source): https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=arcboot-installer https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=s390-dasd etc. It's a good idea to do so for things you've built locally, but it can be a bit of a burden to check all packages… I'll end up seeing what packages don't migrate on the long run, so I'll notice anyway. Anyone can, looking at the udebs (second part) with an old age: https://d-i.debian.org/testing-summary.html > - cdebconf-terminal when comparing 0.33.dsc against 0.34.dsc, there are > masses of deletions (not declared in the changelog file; > and I cannot find any commit that could have caused > this; > so this is most probably a wrong way of building the > package or the like ?) Sometimes the previous uploader has an unclean git tree, and include some extraneous files, which then show up as deletions. Rebuilding a source package from the 0.33 git tag, I see these changes when compared against the one in the archive: aclocal.m4 | 171 -- config.guess | 1530 ---------------------- config.sub | 1782 -------------------------- configure | 4035 ----------------------------------------------------------- 4 files changed, 7518 deletions(-) … which you can in turn ignore. > - choose-mirror For the next buster d-i alpha release to happen, there > seems > to be one more upload needed anyway (to update from > mirrors.masterlist). So I did not upload just for l10n. Right, I can do that. > - console-setup non-trivial changings included Feel free to upload that one. > - flash-kernel non-trivial changings included Not an expert here, I'd check with Vagrant. > - lilo-installer non-trivial changes ? (source.lintian-overrides) Is that the right package? kibi@armor:~/debian-installer/packages/lilo-installer$ git diff --stat 1.57.. debian/changelog | 6 ++++++ debian/control | 4 ++-- debian/po/he.po | 4 ++-- debian/po/sv.po | 25 ++++++++++++++----------- 4 files changed, 24 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) Either way, we don't really support lilo, so… ;) > - preseed additional changes (mark 'checksum error' strings as > translatable, which have been introduced in Stretch > development cycle) I'd defer to l10n-knowledgeable people for that one. :) > - tasksel many other, non-trivial changings included Right package? kibi@armor:~/debian-installer/packages/tasksel$ git diff --stat 3.44.. debian/changelog | 7 +++++++ debian/po/de.po | 8 +++++--- debian/po/pt_BR.po | 8 ++++---- 3 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) Cheers, -- Cyril Brulebois ([email protected]) <https://debamax.com/> D-I release manager -- Release team member -- Freelance Consultant
