Sorry. Hopefully, I'll succeed convincing the current package maintainers that everything from github.com/testing-cabal needs to be maintained as a whole, by a single packaging team. Right now, it's messy, with mock and fixtures maintained elsewhere. > If you really care about doing "nice" things, I can think of many > things a lot nicer than uploading 38 unbuildable source packages for > unstable and then letting them to propagate to testing. I do feel bad about it, and hopefully, I will have less time pressure moving forward. I was clearly a bit late for Newton. Though for the "propagate to testing", I need to find out a way to fix the current state of things, because right now, it's really done in a *very* messy way for which I'm not satisfied at all. We currently have half of Newton not yet migrated to Testing. Do you know if there's another way than just opening an RC bug on each and every package? > The right thing is still to use a clean sid chroot or doing > source-only uploads. The right thing, IMO, is having a sid CI comparable to what I have for Jessie. Yes, what you wrote works, but it would take too much time. Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
