AFAIK everything can also be found on merkel though. > but looking at the patches fjp posted about this, it seems to update > /srv/ftp.debian.org/scripts/external-overrides/task with the file > from tasksel, and then run mk-extra-overrides.sh in the same directory. > Perhaps the issue of keeping differing overrides for stable and > unstable separate was entirely overlooked? Although IIRC ftpmaster had > a different set of task override files for stable. I doubt that that is the cause as I do remember considering that aspect when we made the change. For that reason my patches also still force a real by-hand for uploads of tasksel to stable. /me looks on merkel... Hmmm, mk-extra-overrides.sh has this: for s in lenny sid; do for c in main contrib non-free; do echo "Making $opath/override.$s.extra.$c" So it looks like the problem is that that script should have been updated to 'for s in squeeze sid; do' when lenny was released, but that this was forgotten. Perhaps the releases to act on should not be hardcoded but instead taken from some configuration file? Cheers, FJP
