Hi, I'd like to upload node-babel7 to unstable. This requires to also push node-rollup-plugin-babel and node-gulp-babel to unstable. Looking at https://release.debian.org/britney/pseudo-excuses-experimental.html , this seems not to generate any problem (I fixed node-micromatch, not usable by rollup < 2). Do you agree ? Can anybody tests more ?
No, please don't upload. Especially for packages with a lot of reverse dependencies. Please don't depend only on autopkgtests when uploading to unstable, we have to run rebuilds also.
build script from https://salsa.debian.org/ruby-team/meta/ can do this rebuild tests and autopkgtests. I will try to run some tests, but not right now.
Whoever doing such major version updates should take responsibility to run autopkgtest and rebuild tests and filing bugs when packages fail. Also sufficient time should be given to fix the breakages before uploading to unstable. This is standard procedure when doing C library transitions and we should follow it too.
Filing bugs also helps later to troubleshoot and fix the failures easily.
