Package: dput-ng Version: 1.10 Severity: wishlist If a package is involved in a transition, uploading a new version can interrupt this transition. Especially if this is a new upstream release, and e.g. it fails to build on some architectures.
Ongoing transitions are nowadays tracked via https://release.debian.org/transitions/ and the PTS nicely shows this information. Unfortunately not every maintainers checks https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/<$pkg> before making any upload. Therefore it would be great, if dput would query the PTS before uploading packages and if the package is involved in a transition, ask the user for explicit confirmation before proceeding. regards, Michael -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (200, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.2.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages dput-ng depends on: ii python-dput 1.10 pn python:any <none> Versions of packages dput-ng recommends: ii bash-completion 1:2.1-4.2 dput-ng suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
