I don't see that there are 10 architectures missing, I see that the package is built and installed in the archive for 7 of 11 archs. gnome-system-monitor | 2.8.1-5 | testing-proposed-updates | source, alpha, hppa, i386, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc Of the other architectures, arm, ia64, and sparc list the package as Needs-Build; s390 has already been explained. > Should I contact the [EMAIL PROTECTED] maintainers? You can, though the only thing they can do would be to confirm that there are autobuilders still set up to build t-p-u for these missing architectures. > Or can I get an exemption to the version comparison rule and upload to > stable? Not from this list, you can't. In any case, you're probably better off waiting a couple of days for the GNOME 2.10 version of the package to enter testing. > And I wonder: what happens to TPU and to stable uploads when packages > are removed from unstable?
