I sent the message below to debian-release 11 days ago requesting permission to upload ICU 4.2.1 to unstable. I understand and fully support the new policy of getting advance permission and trying to coordinate transitions, but I'm unsure of how long I should expect to wait before receiving a response one way or the other.
The actual 4.2.1 differs from 4.2.1~rc1 in experimental by only one line of code and that line is inside of an #ifdef that only runs on Windows, so for our purposes, 4.2.1~rc1 in experimental is identical to 4.2.1. I'd still like to go ahead and get the transition going, but as per requests to debian-devel-announce, I intend to hold off my upload until I get confirmation from debian-release. Please cc me on any response as I am not subscribed to debian-release. (I did check the archives for responses before reposting.) Thanks for all you do to keep things moving. Please see this message as a gentle tug from someone who wants to cause as little disruption as possible rather than as a complaint or criticism. -- Jay Berkenbilt <q...@debian.org> Jay Berkenbilt <q...@debian.org> wrote: > I'd like to get a place in line for doing a transition to ICU 4.2.
