I am not a member of the release team, but there would be a better solution than using an epoch: Uploads to testing-proposed-updates are working fine. There are not common ([1] says there were 2 this month so far), and the upload of the new version should have gone to experimental instead of unstable during the freeze, but in the current situation a separate upload to testing-proposed-updates would be a better option than a permanent epoch. > Kind regards > > Andreas. cu Adrian [1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-testing-changes/2017/03/threads.html -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
