well, you're not alone, there is 217 source packages in NEW, most of them for more than 2 weeks, not to mention the ones that have been uploaded many times which hides the fact that they rot there since ages. NEW has worked for something like 6 monthes pretty well, maybe 8, and is stuck again. I'm still thinking that NEW for packages that already are in the archive is totally inefficient. at the least, NEW should be split into real NEW uploads (source packages that never wer ein the archive) and another queue for the packages that just have a new binary package. that queue should be treated really faster, it's often a big block for teams that see their upload schedule completely stuck because of the slowness of NEW processing. This produces irritation and frustration, and is of no good for the project. Oh and as we are speaking of NEW, I also think that most of the refusal for tiny problems (in tiny I mean that they need a couple of seconds to fix, like one forgotten file in a debian/copyright ...) should be accepted instead, with an RC open bug. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O [EMAIL PROTECTED] OOO http://www.madism.org
