By doing test rebuilds, and filing bugs. Note that making britney track build-deps doesn't ensure that packages aren't failing to build in testing. It just guarantees that packages will find all their build-dependancies in testing, and won't fail to build because their b-deps won't be satisfiable. But they might fail later. -- | Lucas Nussbaum | [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
