Hi Michael, it sounds like you would be interested in installing the how-can-i-help package, where you can run queries pre-filtered to the list of packages you have locally installed. how-can-i-help --old --show no-testing,testing-autorm signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I was wondering what the easiest and most sensible way would be to find/share this information. My first thought was feeding something like 'aptitude search ~o' into a script that checks for RM bugs in the bug tracker. It seems like it would be an easy enough trigger to write, but it would be time-consuming to run and would add a fair bit of load to the bug tracker. > rsnapshot is still in Sid.

Most things not visible there (and most things interesting to contributors) are at http://tracker.debian.org/pkg/rsnapshot There you can see both the "[2021-04-11] rsnapshot REMOVED from testing (Debian testing watch)" news item where you can see the reason for removal, and the "testing migrations" block with excuses stating the reason for not migrating back (note that sometimes these are different reasons). -- WBR, wRAR signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Hello, Look at https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/rsnapshot or https://packages.qa.debian.org/rsnapshot cu Andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.

please document why a package has been dropped from Testing/Bullseye
Hi folks, https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=rsnapshot doesn't tell, so I wonder what is the recommended way to find out why rsnapshot (or any other package) has been dropped from Testing? rsnapshot is still in Sid. I found #986709, of course, but this information should be much easier to access. Regards Harri
