The tech-ctte's multi-arch ruling[2] suggests we may see this change in sid in 14 days time (unless that change is reverted etc.). That being said, I am not sure this is sufficient to bump these targets to "required". I am not aware of anything on the Policy front or the tech-ctte (build-arch) front to ratify the recommended -> required change. I am hesistant because bumping them has a side-effect of making them "fatal auto-rejects". Despite the steady drop in missing targets[3] there are still 4000-4500 packages that "overnight" would be auto-reject candidates. > I kept the debian-rules-missing-recommended-target check and > description in case it's of potential use in the future, but > otherwise these could also be removed. > > > Thanks, > Roger > > [...] ~Niels [1] http://packages.qa.debian.org/d/dpkg/news/20120206T000222Z.html [2] http://lists.debian.org/debian-ctte/2012/02/msg00018.html [3] http://people.debian.org/~nthykier/rg-build-arch-target/affected-packages-graphs.png Numbers are available on lintian.debian.org in /srv/lintian.debian.org/history/tags/debian-rules-missing-recommended-target.dat Note, both sources are slightly inflated due to lintian currently processing "outdated" source packages. Some cut | uniq | wc -l magic on the lintian.log should produce more accurate results, but it is unlikely to drop the numbers below 4000 at the moment. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
