-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 As most of you know, it can be a pain to test and roll packages over to stable from unstable, particularly when they have huge dependency trees.
I propose the following phased process: Phase 1: Since people have been testing packages (presumably) before committing them to 10.7/stable, that tree is indeed pretty stable. We'll start by moving all packages from 10.4/unstable to 10.4/stable that have identical (or mostly identical) counterparts in 10.7/stable. Most importantly, we will _delete_ the descriptions from 10.7/unstable. As people continue to add packages to 10.7, they should move them from 10.4/unstable to 10.4/stable if they're the same version. In addition, we'll delete package descriptions from 10.4/unstable that are identical to those in 10.4/stable. Phase 2: Once Phase 1 is finished, we will announce a freeze on new commits to 10.4/unstable, and we'll start rolling maintained packages and their dependencies over to stable. Once the freeze has been announced all updates should go to the stable tree henceforth. Phase 3: What should be left at this point is unmaintained packages that nothing else needs. We should test these and see (1) if they still work, (2) if not, are there newer versions that work or can easily be made to, and (3) if not, do we bother keeping the packages. In cases (1) or (2) we roll them to stable. Any thoughts on this? - -- Alexander Hansen Fink User Liaison -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk6FsKoACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ8ZhwCfZC8LCioKpHrytP4x0g6BsdLz dZQAn3kB9QfM9G/PJFrlK6dcYL5YlgMT =nIBm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
