Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian....@packages.debian.org Usertags: unblock X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-scie...@packages.debian.org, debian-scie...@lists.debian.org Control: affects -1 + src:debian-science
Please unblock package debian-science [ Reason ] This is the usual update of the Blends metapackages short before the release to reflect removals inside the freeze process. Well, admittedly its not the "usual" one. I intended to get version 1.14.4 featuring lots of changes into testing before the freeze and failed. Its simply my fault and I should have done this earlier - I'm very sorry about this. The consequence is a diff to the version in testing (1.14.3) which is *way* larger than usually acceptable and I can perfectly understand if you might reject this unblock request due to this large diff which is not readable any more. The consequence would be some inconsistencies inside the metapackages which might have a non-optimal user experience. [ Impact ] Some packages recommended inside the metapackages are removed from bookworm. Due to my late upload of 1.14.4 which contained a lot of updates regarding packages created by Debian Science users would miss quite some packages that are not mentioned in the dependencies of the metapackages. [ Tests ] Unfortunately there are no tests for the metapackages. However, they are automatically created and thus checked against the package pool and thus it is sensible to expect that the packages are fine. [ Risks ] There is no real code inside the metapackages so the packages are extremely trivial and all are leaf packages so no other package is depending from them and thus they can not break any other package. [ Checklist ] [*] all changes are documented in the d/changelog [*] I reviewed all changes and I approve them [*] attach debdiff against the package in testing [ Other info ] I promise to deliver smaller diffs for the next release cycle. unblock debian-science/1.14.5
