Hi, Generally we try to scan the list of "fixed in sid, but not in wheezy"-RC-bugs[1] and automatically unblock it. If you do an upload and wait for a while before filing a bug, there is a chance we already noticed the fix and unblocked it. For those cases, using grep-excuses can sometimes save you from filing that bug[2]. On the other hand, if we have concerns with the changes, it is usually easier for us to reach you if you have filed the bug. Personally, I am inclined to say "it depends" for the "trivial RC bugfix" case. It might be worth considering checking after 5 days (assuming low urgency) with grep-excuses. If we haven't unblocked your package by then, a bug is probably needed. Though for non-RC bugs, we always need a bug (as they generally don't appear on any of our "radars"). ~Niels [1] http://udd.debian.org/bugs.cgi?release=wheezy_not_sid&merged=ign&fnewerval=7&rc=1&sortby=id&sorto=asc&chints=1&ctags=1&cdeferred=1&crttags=1 [2] Assuming there is a Britney run (up to 12 hours) between one of us unblocking your package and you checking with grep-excuses. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
