Hi, The release of etch is approaching, and we now have a good idea of the list of packages that won't make it into etch. It would be interesting to review all those packages, because something might be wrong about them: - they might be target for removals from debian - their maintainers might be MIA - etc...
Are there people interested in working on that ? I propose the following workflow: 1. A list of packages matching: "was in sid on etch freeze date, is still in sid, but isn't in etch" is generated and commited to the collab-qa svn repository 2. Interested participants review some packages, take the necessary actions, and add comments to the lists. We use tags to mark similar situations (e.g SITUATION_OK, MAINTAINER_NEEDS_PING, etc) I already generated the lists and commited them to the collab-qa repository. Here are the number of packages to review: $ wc -l *_todo 20 contrib_todo 432 main_todo 15 non-free_todo 467 total The lists can be viewed at: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/collab-qa/archive-cleanup/post-etch/?rev=0&sc=0 (I've also commited the dd-list outputs) If you want to participate, request addition to the collab-qa alioth project: http://alioth.debian.org/projects/collab-qa/ Any comments/suggestions on the proposed workflow ? -- | Lucas Nussbaum | [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
