I understood the new DFSG team tries to adjust priorities to the need of
developers. Thus from your mail arise two interesting questions:
1. Is there any chance to automatically know what packages do influence
the transition? I have made extremely good experiences by making
some ITP bug blocking an RC bug in some other package. This relation
influences the ranking of the package inside the new queue drastically.
You might like to try this.
If you see other machine obtainable signals influencing a transition
please let the DFSG team know.
I didn't know we can influence the ranking of the packages, this is
really interesting. Right now, there is nothing we can use to
automatically bump the priority for the Haskell packages currently in
the NEW queue, but going forward we could have ITP bugs blocking the
transition bug (https://bugs.debian.org/1123928). DFSG team, could we
implement something like this?
2. Can you simply make a list of the blockers for the moment as long as
the automated ranking is not implemented yet?
The following packages are currently in the NEW queue (all of them less
than a day old) and are blocking the transition:
* haskell-djot
* haskell-crypton-socks
* haskell-crypto-token
* haskell-text-iso8601
* haskell-postgresql-libpq-pkgconfig
We still have 10 more packages that will need to clear the NEW queue,
will work on them over the next days.
Thank you,
