Yes, I do apologize for the current state. My first priority was to resolve the blocked testing migration for ust and lttng-tools. My upload yesterday seems to have resolved the last of the ust package issues, and so now I need only to upload the remaining fixes for lttng-tools and the two should be eligible for migration to testing. I decided it would be easier to fix the migration problem first, and then update all of the versions to 2.3.x - it makes perfect sense to me as a packager, but I also see it's completely backwards from a user's perspective. Sid should have 2.3.x immediately and I will push these versions before the weekend ends. The migration is also very important to me, as Jessie will freeze soon. I will continue on that front after 2.3.x is in sid. Does this sound like a reasonable plan? -- Jon _______________________________________________ lttng-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lttng.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lttng-dev
