I need voluptuous for OpenStack. So unless someone needs the version in Unstable, I prefer to not risk to break anything, and upload updates to Experimental, just in case the new version breaks something in the older release of OpenStack. My intention was to upload Voluptuous to Unstable when Newton was out. However, if you need it, then it's fine to upload to Unstable, and if something break in OpenStack, then it's up to me to repair... :) As of today, the only rdepends are: python-voluptuous Reverse Depends: gertty (1.3.1-1) Reverse Depends: lava-dev (2016.6-2) Reverse Depends: lava-server (2016.6-2) Reverse Depends: python-gnocchi (2.0.2-6) Reverse Depends: python-tooz (>= 1.34.0-2) Reverse Depends: python-watcher (>= 0.28.0-2) So, except lava, everything else is OpenStack related, so I think it's ok to follow this type of workflow. > And, why weren't your changes committed to git and pushed?

Well, if you look at tracker.debian.org, then you'll see that I uploaded the package in early June, when I had still no commit rights to the git of the DPMT. Therefore, I couldn't "git push". Unfortunately, after I got my write access back, I forgot about Voluptuous, and therefore didn't git push. Sorry for that, and thanks so much for doing the work of pushing the changes. > You won't mind if I upload 0.9.2? The file here: https://github.com/openstack/requirements/blob/master/upper-constraints.txt shows that OpenStack Newton (currently in Experimental) is right now gating on 0.9.1 upstream, so 0.9.2 is probably fine as well. Please go ahead, you're saving me some work! :) Hopefully, this wont break Mitaka (currently in Sid). Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
