still the policy defines a set of rules that apply to any debian suites, or are you suggesting that experimental is not cover by those rules and we could do whatever we want? The bug asking for a new version was issues 2 hours before the upload with urgency wishlist, without mentioning it was a blocker for anything. > Are > there any specific changes you object to As for the technical aspects, tests were disabled mentioning they access internet (and from the code it is not clear at all if they do, and I kinda doubt that), the test suite for py3k fails with 'FAILED (SKIP=17, errors=69, failures=13)' halting the build in my clean pbuilder env, the doc requirements list "sphinxcontrib-bibtex" which is not yet in debian (the reason I halted the upgrade myself sometime ago) so I'm not sure how the doc could have been built + all the time I wasted having to write this >, and that can't be easily > reverted before an upload to unstable? I dont know if I understand correctly: are you saying that, since he needed that package updated he could technical sub-optimal work, and then let the maintainer/somebody else fix what's left broken? because that's what's going to happen :( (python3-memcache anyone?) -- Sandro Tosi (aka morph, morpheus, matrixhasu) My website: http://matrixhasu.altervista.org/ Me at Debian: http://wiki.debian.org/SandroTosi
