Hello,
There are a few packages I once uploaded to our VCS that I know will not
make it into a shape for them to be ready to be uploaded to our
distribution. There are different reasons to that. Sometimes my focus
has shifted away from it as a user. And at other times I found that it
is too much work to e.g. get all Java dependencies into our distribution
first. And there are packages for which I have just forgotten why the
process has stalled. :o) And there are a few packages for which I could
be motivated to complete the packaging, but would like to know if there
is ongoing progress with the package by the uploader, not necessarily
wanting to ask by email at an early stage screening our packages list.
Should indicate how much the packaging has proceeded such that we could
show that in our task list? I have recently started to mention any
issues in the debian/changelog file. Would it be preferable to have
anything directly stated in the package description? Or should find a
debian/TODO file be shown in our task pages/linked from there?
Cheers,
Steffen
