For the moment, I tweaked things to let your upload through.
Thanks Jon. I have only seen a handful of NMUs go by and it didn't occur to
me that those doing them were explicitly allowed to.
ISTM the process works fine as it is. If I happen to have a future itch to
do an NMU should I handle it as I did this one? Or say something on
cygwin-apps beforehand? I don't expect it will be often. I'm totally fine
not being on the "trusted" list for this type of thing.
If you ask in advance, that's possibly slightly less work for me, but either
is fine really.
Maybe I should make things so that all maintainers can NMU orphaned packages.
That seems reasonable I guess?
Maybe Unmaintained except Base (i.e. alternatives crypto-policies) or
"toolchain" defined as cygport and cygwin deps and build deps (i.e. bzip2
cocom docbook git-archive-all robodoc); maybe also all their deps and build
deps, even Devel and Libs?
I was kind of hoping that base packages (and "dependencies of packages in base
which aren't in base themselves") aren't unmaintained, but obviously that was
being optimistic...
I thought I should take a peek in hopes too, but just in case, not being
paranoid /much/, but like to have a bigger fan ready just in case! ;^>
Maybe we should work on publishing package adoption priority lists e.g.
1 Base 1.1 crypto-policies 1.2 alternatives
2 Build 1.1 cocom (now dino) 1.2 git-archive-all 1.3 robodoc 1.4 bzip2
1.5 docbook... [lots of Unmaintained pkgs and deps]
3 Base direct deps
4 Build direct deps
5 Base indirect deps
6 Build indirect deps
I stopped once I looked at docbook...sob...! ;^>
