Sure. http://release.debian.org/britney/update_output.txt.gz

(Except if we do multiple runs by hand or even worse things, then we
might not always update it.)

Added; thanks.

> BTW, is it possible to avoid expanding all architectures for binNMUed
> packages in easy hints?

britney requires the architectures to always be specified for binNMUs.
One of the tools we use for dealing with hints allows the
pseudo-architecture "any" which expands to the list of release
architectures for which the package is available in unstable. The fully
expanded list is still what has to be added to the hints file however,
and not everyone uses the tool (I do when formulating hints, but in this
case just copy-and-pasted it from your mail), so it's safer to either
expand it yourself or say "package A and the binNMUs for package B"
rather than the hint itself.

Adam

A binNMU of 2.8.2-1 is no longer necessary because goffice fixed its
package naming and abiword 2.8.2-2 is waiting for a sponsor, thus
closing this bug report.

Meaning that s390's libghc6-magic-dev is broken now (until waldi signs
and uploads the new haskell-magic, which will then transition to
testing). xmonad-contrib on hppa has an FTBFS. As the whole thing made
three packages on kfreebsd-i386 installable, it seems like a good
tradeoff, and cleaning up will be easier now that ghc6 is in testing.

What's the status of dropping 8.3 aka what still needs to be done to

Priorities

2010-03-13 Thread Luk Claes
Hi

I'm back from vacation.

I would like to make sure we focus on the priorities to get Squeeze out.

>From a first look there are these things:

- stop accepting new transitions and (help to) coordinate the
outstanding ones
- focus on RC bug handling by coordinating the organisation of formal
and informal BSPs and possible other ways of getting the RC bug count lower
- call for more volunteers to get momentum and spread the load
- train volunteers in reviewing package updates and bug squashing

Are there other things people think of or comments, please share them.

Is anyone volunteering to take responsability for any of the tasks involved?

Cheers

Luk

Please do hold your upload for now. We'll come back to you when the
moment is right.

One possibility could be movig tcl-defaults to 8.5 and disable threading on 8.4.
Than dropping 8.3. Of course the transition should be more elaborate than that
in order to avoid breakages for many packages, but it could be a basis of
work. We will return with a more complete plans in a few, I hope...

Of course if someone could fix hppa problems with multi-threading it would be 
great.

OK, boost 1.42 is now in testing.  Can you advise me if and when
I can upload new boost-default packages pointing to 1.42?

Thanks,
