We currently don't really have historical data about new upstream releases (as seen from the uscan scanner). What could be done is to define a policy based on the number of new upstream releases uploaded to Debian (looking at the upload_history table) over the last 1 or 2 years. What would have to be done is: 1. add a SQL function to extract the upstream version from a debversion postgresql type. 2. count the new upstream versions uploaded to Debian for each package. Something like: select source, count(distinct(extract_upstream(version))) as cnt from upload_history where current_timestamp - interval '2 years' < date group by source 3. Update rimporters/upstream.rb to change the policy from the static 72 hours to a variation based on the number of new upstream versions. However that sounds low priority given that this is the first complaint about the 72 hours delay being too long, while that importer was introduced in 2017. Lucas

Hi, According to "select * from upstream where source='linux';", the last check for Linux was on 2023-02-06 00:20:35. Unfortunately, that's not much time before 6.2rc7 appeared. Packages are refreshed every 72 hours. We are already hitting rate limiting from some sources (e.g github) so I don't think that it would be a good idea to reduce that interval. Lucas

Like Andreas said it would be perfect if the package linux could be scanned more often On Tue, Feb 7, 2023 at 9:49 AM Andreas Beckmann wrote: > On 07/02/2023 09.41, Raphael Hertzog wrote: > > But with >3 source packages to monitor, we're not able to verify new > > releases each hour.

I don't know if this is already done, but from historic release data it might be possible to derive packages that are updated frequently and therefore should be scanned more often. Andreas

It just uses information provided by UDD (Ultimate Debian Database). But with >3 source packages to monitor, we're not able to verify new releases each hour. It's a process that is spread over a longer period... I'm ccing the UDD maintainer so that he can decide whether there's something to be made here.

Package: tracker.debian.org Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: vmxevils...@gmail.com Dear Maintainer, I have noticed that on https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/linux the new upstream version takes ages to update. for example now it displays "A new upstream version is available: 6.2~rc6" while on https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git and https://kernel.org/ the latest upstream rc version is mainline: 6.2-rc7 2023-02-05 Thanks for your time in fixing this
