Hello I recently took over orphaned package sdcv, moved patches to quilt and did several intrusive changes in packaging. While doing this I enabled testing during build and it discovered that the binary is broken on several architectures - namely arm, armel, sparc and ia64 (bug #500921). This bug was not found for packages in testing because no testing was done there and probably nobody uses the package on these architectures.
The question now is whether I should try to push fixes to testing or
not. Getting freeze exception for package in current unstable is
probably not an option as there are quite a lot of unrelated
packaging changes (I believe none of them is really problematic, but
there is simply lot of them). So should I upload through TPU, just
forget the issue (as there is no bug opened) or will be package
granted a freeze exception?
Please CC on reply, I'm not on the list...
