Control: clone -1 -2 Control: reassign -2 release.debian.org Control: retitle -2 release.debian.org: provide machine-readable information about the freeze period for each release Control: block -1 by -2
Hi Release Team, In order to implement the request below (hide some suggestions from tracker.d.o during the freeze (and possibly other things)), we need a machine-readable information source about the current stage of the freeze and what that means for new upstream releases. I suggest that this come in the form of a YAML/JSON file in the testing directory containing start dates for each stage of the freeze and an end date once that is known. Each stage could be accompanied by some sort of metadata about the freeze policy, so that the tracker could also give advice on what to upload and what not to upload. https://release.debian.org/testing/freeze.yaml On Fri, Jun 14, 2019 at 9:15 PM Holger Levsen wrote: > package: tracker.debian.org > severity: wishlist > x-debbugs-cc: debian...@lists.debian.org > > On Thu, Jun 06, 2019 at 09:19:14PM +0800, Paul Wise wrote: > > On Thu, Jun 6, 2019 at 6:20 PM Holger Levsen wrote: > [tracker.d.o tells me that] > > > - new upstream version only available in experimental (yes, because > > > buster is frozen) > > > > I think it is appropriate to file a bug asking that this be disabled > > when the freeze is on.
