Dear maintainer,
I've prepared an NMU for sylpheed (versioned as 3.7.0-5.1) and
uploaded it to DELAYED/3. Please feel free to tell me if I
should delay it longer.
Thanks for the patch! Given it's not even a RC bug I don't understand
such a hurry, am I missing something?
sylpheed is marked as lowNMU I believe
Indeed, but if you really think lowNMU means you can do NMUs like this
one I'd suggest you to read again what lowNMU means.
https://wiki.debian.org/LowThresholdNmu describes what it is:
The maintainers and maintainer groups listed below declare that their
packages (all, or the ones listed specifically below) may be fixed and
uploaded without delay, at any time, as long as the NMU procedure
<http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/pkgs.html#nmu> in the
Debian Developer's Reference is otherwise followed. You don't need to
contact the maintainers beforehand, and you don't need to use a
delayed upload queue. If the package maintainer or maintainer group is
active, it is polite to let them have a stab at fixing the problem first.
Every change should be to fix a reported bug. Changes should not be
frivolous. For example, don't change from debhelper to cdbs just
because you prefer it that way; if you really want to make such big
changes to the package, talk with the maintainer or maintainer group
first, and maybe offer to adopt the package.
The NMU procedure describes:
Unless you have an excellent reason not to do so, you must then give
some time to the maintainer to react (for example, by uploading to the
|DELAYED| queue). Here are some recommended values to use for delays:
* Upload fixing only release-critical bugs older than 7 days, with
no maintainer activity on the bug for 7 days and no indication
that a fix is in progress: 0 days
* Upload fixing only release-critical bugs older than 7 days: 2 days
* Upload fixing only release-critical and important bugs: 5 days
* Other NMUs: 10 days
Ergo any bugs (including important bugs and "Other NMU") can be uploaded
without delay if the package is marked as LowThresholdNmu
Well this is at least my understanding.
and I'm not sure about the real consequences of having the 2 libraries
loaded at the same time, so I prefer to see this fixed rapidly.
I don't think that could eat your homework, but I agree it's better to
have this fixed soon :)
I've canceled my NMU
regards,
