Here's a follow-up, as some slightly strange things happened in testing last night which bear explaining. > Chris hasn't done a status update for a while, so I'll try to make do. > But, first some exciting news - arts 1.2.0 (the version that was > released with KDE 3.2) is going into experimental today.

(This means that they don't have obvious problems that bar them from testing, but they may still fail if promoting the new packages results in more uninstallable packages than beforehand.) While kdeaddons, kdebase, and kdegames are still waiting for other things to happen, meta-kde was upgraded in testing. The reason for this was that it was actually already uninstallable there, so upgrading it didn't make the situation any worse. You can see at http://ftp-master.debian.org/testing/testing_probs.html that it's still uninstallable. As for the remaining things to happen before jack-audio-connection-kit and alsa-lib can be promoted, which will include kdeaddons, kdebase, and kdegames: ardour needs to be built on arm gst-plugins needs to be built on mipsel gst-plugins is 2 days old; needs 10 libjackasyn has just had bug #232605 fixed, which needs to be built redland is waiting for perl perl needs to be built on m68k, but has problems (#233175) spiralsynthmodular is 7 days old; needs 10 So, getting there ... -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
