Well, I cannot prove it... but as there is currently only one package depending on it and I'm both its upstream author and maintainer, I think I'm fairly sure ;) > I think by waiting a certain time to see whether some QA tools have > run once or twice which is probably in a one month time frame. Oh, I didn't know these tools also run on experimental. In this case I completely agree! > So if you are sure the Debian import Freeze for Ubuntu will be Feb > 2015 it might be the best compromise to upload GenomeTools (and its > dependencies) in mid January which should be sufficient to a) reach > Ubuntu and b) uncover any RC bugs in testing. Absolutely! The Ubuntu import freeze for vivid is on Feb 19th (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VividVervet/ReleaseSchedule) so mid January definitely sounds good.
