<pabs> h01ger: should it be changed to 'please move version X from 
experimental to unstable'?
<pabs> I've always considered it a reminder to do that
* h01ger would prefer it to be quiet
<h01ger> that version is perfectly fine in experimental
* h01ger dislikes automatic todo entries where one cannot or doesnt want to do 
something about it
<h01ger> if you think munin 2.1.2-1 belongs to unstable, file a wishlist bug. 
<h01ger> (you as in $you)
<h01ger> like it is, the PTS conveys the message that the munin maintainers 
are slacking, while we are not. (or maybe we are, but not in regards to 
2.1.2-1)
<pabs> h01ger: is munin 2.1.2 a beta or dev version or something? what is 
holding it out of sid?
<pabs> if so I think the right answer is for the watch file in sid to not 
match dev versions
<h01ger> pabs, how is that relevant? (its a dev version)
<h01ger> http://sf.net/munin/ munin-([\d+\.]+)\.tar\.gz
<h01ger> is the content of the watch file (+version=3)
<h01ger> so currently (AIUI) it looks like i want to remove the watch file 
entirely
<taffit> http://sf.net/munin/ munin-(2\.0[\d+\.]+)\.tar\.gz  would do
<h01ger> pfft
<pabs> http://sf.net/munin/ munin-(\d\.[02468]\.[\d+\.]+)\.tar\.gz
<h01ger> i rather remove it then maintain a useless file
<themill> I think we perhaps need to accept that all automated checks are 
going to occasionally going to offer up false positives and we accept that 
they are right 90% of the time and just learn to ignore them the other 10% of 
the time.
<jcristau> that would just make the watch file less useful
* h01ger thinks there is too much guessing involved
<h01ger> 2.1.2-1 is packaged
<jcristau> themill: the problem is when people don't realize their checks are 
wrong 50% of the time
<h01ger> so why claim its not
<themill> jcristau: 50%? really?
<jcristau> whatever
<jcristau> even 10% would be too much
<h01ger> i could live with the noise about "please move the package to 
unstable" but claiming 2.1.2-1 is not packaged and we should do our work, is 
plainly wrong
<taffit> indeed
<themill> h01ger: yeah, that check should use max-version not sid-version
<h01ger> (pabs, its a total guess that future stable releases will be 2.2 - 
they could also become 3.0 or munin 13.10)
