Package: qa.debian.org Severity: wishlist User: qa.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: pts
It would be nice if the PTS informed the maintainers that a package is currently involved in some ongoing transition (to testing) so that they can refrain from doing unnecessary uploads. The release team is exporting a list of affected packages at this URL: http://release.debian.org/transitions/export/packages.yaml For each package there's a list of transitions and for each transition, there's an associated status. For our own needs, we can safely ignore any transition listed as "permanent", "finished", we only care about transitions marked as "ongoing" and also those marked as "planned" to give some advance notice maybe. We should also include an URL to the associated tracker: http://release.debian.org/transitions/html/<transition>.html (For example http://release.debian.org/transitions/html/ocaml.html) Cheers, -- Raphaël Hertzog ◈ Debian Developer Pre-order a copy of the Debian Administrator's Handbook and help liberate it: http://debian-handbook.info/go/ulule-rh/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qa-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
