Hi Sebastian, I am sorry that the information that I sent appears to have wasted your time. I still think that it does have some relevance, but I probably did not explain my thougts well, and I worry that you have no appetite for reading a longer version. By the way, I work in a multicultural environment where most people are not native speakers of English and we take great care of not hurting each other in our oral and written communications. Nobody would ever start an answer like you did, and I feel like saying that I am not used any more to that kind of communication. Hence the unease that you can probably feel from my reply. > We care about new dependencies of packages currently in the archive. > So what's the status of new the dependencies? The tools available to us to answer your question are quite inexistant. Until now we would just wait for the release team's green light to ensure that we do not disturb other transitions. The previous one was more painful than usual, but in our experience it is quite rare. I wish you would trust our word instead of requiring quantitative evidence. One possible direction would be to leverage the work done by Dirk and others in r2u, where the Bioc transition is over, and for each package in Debian, look if the r2u equivalent has a dependency not in Debian. https://fediscience.org/@eddelbuettel@mastodon.social/111359074099802189 Still, that is quite an extensive amount of work, only to ensure that the risk of asking the FTP team to fast-track a package is lowered to a minimum. We have done such requests in the past, and the response was usually cheerful so unless you received complains form the FTP team, may I suggest that you might be worrying too much? And again, we are not under the impression that this transition will be as demanding as the past one. Please let me I ask again for your kind understanding and allow us to do the transition despite not being able to tell you if and how much the transition will require the processing of packages through the NEW queue.
