According to the BTS, so far we got 42 bugs pending[1]. As far as I can tell, the last time Lintian closed this many bugs in a single upload was 1.23.0 (23 Apr 2004). I guess that makes "Quite a few" a record. ;) Since 2.4.3 the new test suite also have 103 less uncovered tags and we got 1 new uncovered tag[2]. The new uncovered tag is caused by a check I made, which I have not made a test for... shame on me (also because t/COVERAGE is out of date in git). Hopefully I will find 5 minutes to make that one test before the 2.5.0 release. >> The following is what I think is still missing to make a new release: >> * Make debhelper 8-related tweaks >> * Drop tags/requirement of versioned depends for versions satisfied in >> squeeze. >> * Fix #604047 > You probably want to add * fix libbaz legacy test on non-i386 architectures That or we may end up with an RC bug when (e.g.) Lucas does one of his archive wide rebuilds. :) >> Given the major breakage of overrides, I propose to: >> * Introduce a new statically-embedded-library tag for packages that are >> clearly marked as static ($pkg =~ m/-static/ ?) and lower the severity of >> that tag. >> * Coordinate with ftp-masters what the list of auto-reject tags will be at >> some point. >> * Upload an RC to experimental >> * Send email to d-d-a mentioning the breakage > >> And some time later: >> * Upload to unstable >> * Coordinate with ftp-masters to re-enable some of the auto rejections. > >> What do the others think about it? > > Absolutely, please go ahead!
