Testing excuse: Invalidated by dependency
Hi, Sorry to bother you here but I haven't found an answer to this question anywhere. I maintain the debian version of Directory Administrator (package: directory-administrator); looking at the PTS I've found that this package has not yet entered testing: this shouldn't be a problem, it is simply waiting for openldap2 to enter itself (which is the case of most packages in this days, it seems). The question I have is about the other message the testing excuses gives: "Invalidated by dependency" What does this mean? Does this require action by me? As I was saying I haven't found an explanation about this and haven't seen this message anywhere else... :/ Thanks for any hint, Guido -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

CVS dir in package source
Hi, A while ago my AM told me that CVS directories shouldn't go into package source, and to tell upstream please to remove them. I answered that I'll do it for the next version of the package: now we are at it, I tried to ask upstream, but he replied that CVS dirs were useful to him, because when someone reported a bug he uses to tell him something like "please try to see if it works in CVS version, upgrade with this command within the source". So I'm here to ask you if he is right and this my be a correct reason, or if there is something wrong with this, and what to tell him. Also if he finally refuses this, should I repackage orig.tar.gz without CVS dirs or should I leave them, as he has asked, in order to let also debian people to try his "debugging method" (of course after an apt-get source, at least...). Thanks for your advices! :) Guido pgpP7xxnhgVPO.pgp Description: PGP signature
