It is my intention (bup maintainer - hello!) to request a freeze exception to bup, pending decision on this one. There will be a painful change to backup format between bup-in-testing as it stands, and present day bup, which I want to prevent exposing Debian users to. I haven't yet decided whether to request removal of the current version of bup from testing yet. Note that neither python-tornado nor bup existed in lenny. > It's also quite a large debdiff for a package which has only ever had > one other upload: > > 141 files changed, 1969 insertions(+), 37871 deletions(-) > > 0.2 -> 1.0.1 seems a large jump to be making during freeze. :-/ I asked debian-python whether they would be requesting a freeze exception for python-tornado, and was told that this freeze exception was going to be requested: <http://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2010/09/msg00008.html> Additionally, quoting Piotr: > If they will not accept it, we'll most probably ask to remove python-tornado > from Squeeze -- Jon Dowland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
