[ CCing debian-release for the install-info transition part. ] Hi!
Ok, long time since last upload, and lots of changes have piled up since, time for an upload. There's the normal assortment of refactoring, bug fixes, some new features including the first changes needed for multiarch, and our side of the install-info transition (see below). There's few changes I still want to include related to the merge-back roadmap and multiarch (invoke hooks, query control path interface, etc). I'll be committing those tomorrow or so. install-info transition ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The major blocker for the upload has been the install-info transition, with the info-browser providing packages needing fixes and uploads (big thanks to Norbert and Raphaël :). Which are now all in unstable, but not all have transitioned to testing (konqueror and xemacs21-support). I was expecting those to transition faster, and so my initial idea was to be on the safe side and wait for those transitions before uploading dpkg, as I didn't want to create a monster transition, via packages depending on the new dpkg to use new features (f.ex.), and dpkg Breaking all old info-browsers. But as Raphaël pointed out, that's not really probable, so I guess it should be safe to go ahead. Another concern I had was if britney considers the alternatives branches on dependencies, for the “dpkg (>= 1.15.4) | install-info” case, but I'm guessing that's handled correctly anyway. So if the release-team does not see any problem and asks otherwise, we'll proceed with the upload as planned for this Thursday. regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
