Hi, It seems to be another round of large-scale dependency chain, close to release, thus we probably need a scheduled freezing to get this thing to be released in sarge at all.
Here's a rough timeline that I came up with: 16 Jan 2004 : jack hits unstable 18 Jan 2004 : Maintainer uploads are done by this date. 25 Jan 2004 : All packages are NMU'd, or hinted 'remove' from testing in -release Uploads are freezed except for serious bug fixes 1 Feb 2004 : Final upload, or hinted 'remove' from testing 11 Feb 2004 : All jack-related packages enter testing, or gets removed from testing. 1 Mar 2004 : New jack release to Debian unstable. How does this look like ? regards, junichi
