I have had discussed with debian-release on IRC about feasibility of fixing the RC on top of the 0.8.6 in sid. Here is the transcript: 09:14 yoh: I am to fix up a RC (tests failures) for python-mne package recently removed from jessie -- would it still be ok/allow python-mne to migrate? 09:16 jmw: yoh: if it wasn't removed so long ago that we go 'waaah', yes 09:16 KiBi: 2d-ish 09:16 yoh: yeah -- just a week or so ago. Thanks! 09:16 jmw: oh, fine 09:17 yoh: another question: silly me already uploaded to sid a new upstream release (yet to be patched) which had docs + 1 non-RC bug fix. diff is really small: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=768730#45 09:17 yoh: could I still go through sid or should prepare upload to testing-proposed-updates? 09:18 jmw: sid, please 09:18 jmw: assuming there's nothing in the way 09:18 jmw: er, I should read your question first.. 09:18 yoh: jmw: [reply cut] ;) 09:19 jmw: speaking for myself, I'd take the small additional change and go via sid. others may vary. 09:20 jmw: but please make sure to include details in the unblock request 09:21 yoh: sure -- will do. Here is my perspective (prepared for t-p-u but would prefer going through sid so ok to redo) fix: http://www.onerussian.com/tmp/mne.patch 09:23 jmw: seems reasonable 09:23 yoh: cool. thanks... I will upload to sid / send unblock shortly. Cheers! and it is only then I realized that sid also got pandas which "interferes" (pandas version was uploaded before freeze but never made it since some tests were failing on exotic archs -- so I am not at fault father ;) ) The fix Alex pointed me to is also minimalistic so I will take 0.8.6 with prev patch (to resolve issue of RO $HOME), file FTBFS report against sid, add that patch for sid version, will upload to sid and request unblock. So nothing to worry for anyone else about it if this all works ;) -- Yaroslav O.
