bup has an extensive and aggressive test suite that sometimes experiences arch-specific test failures. For a new upstream release (including a new git snapshot) I would like to have the first upload(s) go to experimental to verify the test suite across all architectures before uploading to unstable. Since it is a backup tool, I'd also like to avoid uploading git snapshots to unstable. -- Robert Edmonds [email protected]
