Sandro, that is not fair to others in the project. You maintain a package that
has reverse dependencies, but is not currently in testing.
AFAICT src:python-psutil is in testing, just at a different version
than unstable; am i missing something here?
With the soft freeze
arriving in 7 days, no new packages will be allowed into testing, which means
that any rdeps will be out of trixie.
before replying to Thomas, i reviewed the freeze email sent to d-d-a and i read
* 2025-04-15 - Milestone 2 - Soft Freeze
no new packages, delayed migration
* 2025-05-15 - Milestone 3 - Hard Freeze - key packages and packages
without autopkgtests need a manual unblock for migration
* TBA - Milestone 4 - Full Freeze
all packages need a manual unblock for migration
unless you plan on removing packages that have different versions, and
by the way i read the list, src:python-psutil should be able to
migrate to testing, at a later version, until the full freeze starts
(not that i plan to wait that long).
You can't ask people not to do NMUs, as that's a tool of the project to help fix
bugs. Note that according to the NMU docs [1], 2-day or even 0-day NMUs are
possible in some cases.
i reviewed that document before replying to Thomas, and they dont seem
to apply here (e.g. when the NMU was proposed, 7 days have not been
passed yet).
So please, do attempt to get your package into testing, and if you don't, then
don't block others from doing so.
did i say somewhere that i will not fix this bug in time for trixie?
My bad, I somehow understood that psutil was not in testing. Indeed it can still
migrate after the soft freeze (but not after the hard freeze unless an exception
is granted).
It'd be good to get this sorted soon anyway, though there's not as much
pressure.
Cheers,
Emilio
