Candidates for removal from testing (2012-10-30)
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 Hi, We are considering removing the following packages from testing as they have unfixed RC bugs filed against them. The packages can be found in the attached dd-list. The bugs that put them on this list can be found in the removals file (also attached) just above the package name. We have BCC'ed this email to pkg@packages.debian.org for the relevant packages. The packages have been selected based on the following criteria: * The package had at least one RC bug without activity for the past 14 days. * If a bug is assigned to multiple packages, both packages will be affected. * The RC bug affects both unstable and testing. * The affected package does not have any reverse dependencies in testing. If the relevant RC bugs in the affected packages are not dealt with /before/ Wednesday the 7th of Nov.[1], the packages will be removed from testing. Note that dealt with may also include downgrading a severity-inflated bug or fixing affected versions in the BTS. Please remember to file unblock bugs for packages fixed via uploads to unstable (and tpu bugs for requests to fix the package via a tpu upload). Should you need a bit more time than given, please do not hesitate to contact us. It is also easier for us if we can avoid having to reintroduce a removed package. We will check the DELAYED queues before activing the removal hints, so NMUs in the DELAYED queues will be given a chance to reach unstable.

Re: Candidates for removal from testing (2012-10-30)
Hello List, does it make sense to establish a list of candidates for reintroduction to testing ? I have in mind packages that were discarded too quickly because an easy to fix a RC appeared a some point while it was unofficially orphaned.

Is this not something best managed on a case-by-case basis? my experience as potential sponsoree for such a package answers me no because it is hard to get a sponsor. As a former sponsor, the most common problem I saw was that packages prepared for sponsoring during a release freeze took no account of the freeze policy and introduced lame or undesirable changes which were not suitable as RC bug fixes. If there's little chance of getting an unblock, there is no point sponsoring. Sponsoring can be more of a burden for the sponsor than just fixing the bug, especially during a release freeze. I have, on occasion, moved on to investigate a different RC bug in a more interesting package rather than go through the process of sponsoring a stale fix merely because it exists. This is as much a reflection of the kind of packages involved - most are leaf packages which are of little interest to most potential sponsors. Just because there is a potential fix (which still needs testing by the sponsor), doesn't always mean that the package is worth keeping in Debian. -- Neil Williams = http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ pgpfSzUwtD0pP.pgp Description: PGP signature

If it fixes *only* rc bugs, then send a bug to sponsorship-requests. I have already committed to reviewing all rc sponsorship-requests, so if it looks good, I will likely sponsor it.
