Hi, as you all are probably aware, we currently have some quite bad issues with the sparc buildds for some times, especially http://bugs.debian.org/433187 unkillable processes on the buildds.
More and more packages which are ready for testing migration otherwise can't go in because of out-of-date-packages on sparc (including missing binNMUs). In past, we have decided on a case-by-case-basis to ignore such issues, or even force packages in which break other packages only on sparc. As the situation is now, we decided to make our lives easier, and always allow such packages to migrate to testing by hand if the only issue is on sparc, and the package transition is otherwise useful (i.e. fixing RC bugs, finishing a transition etc). This is not equivalent (yet) to ignore sparc in testing migration by scripts, but also not a healty sign for this architecture. I hope that the mentioned RC bug can be fixed soon - if so, we're happy to stop ignoring issues on sparc (or rather: we probably will find us in the situation that such cases cease to exist).
