Bug#658341: Call for Vote: upload of multi-arch enabled dpkg (in time for wheezy)
* Andreas Barth (a...@ayous.org) [120205 10:34]: * Bdale Garbee (bd...@gag.com) [120202 15:16]: A. While recognizing the substantial benefits of thorough code review, the Technical Committee believes the goal of multiarch support in the Debian wheezy release is sufficiently important as to warrant accepting the current draft implementation into the archive, even if code review by the primary dpkg C maintainer cannot be completed in time. However, as much review as possible is strongly desired. The Technical Committee therefore overrides the decision of the dpkg maintainer to require complete code review before upload of the multiarch implementation in dpkg to the Debian archive and sets the following upload dates: February 6th: upload to experimental for general testing February 20th: upload to unstable For each of those deadlines, if no implementation of dpkg with multiarch support has been uploaded to the archive for that distribution by that date, Raphaël Hertzog is empowered by the Technical Committee to upload a version of dpkg with multiarch support to that distribution. The upload may be done on or after that date, when, in his judgement, the dpkg implementation meets the quality standards expected for a Debian core package in those archive distributions. The Technical Committee strongly encourages anyone with the required knowledge to review the multiarch implementation proposed for upload and provide the results of that review to the debian-dpkg list as soon as possible so that the code can receive as much review as possible and the results of that review can be incorporated into the code by those dates. Similarly, the Technical Committee encourages as broad testing and review of the experimental implementation as possible so that as many bugs as possible can be resolved prior to uploading it to unstable. This option requires a 3:1 majority. And with my vote (and Steves in http://lists.debian.org/20120205092246.gb15...@virgil.dodds.net ) the outcome is no longer in doubt, so A is the decision.
