Hi Peter, I would, but the problem is the system is terrible.
No disagreement there. Having to do an upload with binaries, then wait for the ftpmasters to get around to approving it, then come back and make a source -only upload is a PITA. I didn't make the rules and would seriously consider supporting a GR to fix them. Still the version of wordpress in testing is currently in violation of "packages must be buildable within the same release", I haven't filed an explicit bug report for that yet because I prefer to focus my initial bug report on the thing that needs to be fixed to unjam things rather than on the thing that is already fixed in unstable but is jammed up from migrating. Would you object to a source-only no-change NMU of the current version so we can get the package in testing back into a consistent state?
Take Wordpress 5.6 which has just come out. Source upstream right? No, it has a new theme, therefore a new package therefore NEW will reject a source-only. So it will be impossible, like literally impossible, for 5.6-1 to make it to testing. So its needs a binary upload and then a 5.6-2 purely because of these rules, no other reason. - Craig On Wed, 16 Dec 2020 at 10:21, peter green <plugw...@p10link.net <mailto:plugw...@p10link.net>> wrote: Package: wordpress Version: 5.5.3+dfsg1-1 Severity: serious The release team have decreed that non-buildd binaries can no longer migrate to testing, please make a source-only upload so your package can migrate.
