triggered by #859531 I made the jenkins chroot-installation jobs for sid complain about transitional packages, that is, these jobs won't fail if transitional packages are installed, but they turn "unstable" (yellow). These are nicely visible as "downstream projects" on https://jenkins.debian.net/job/chroot-installation_sid_bootstrap/ but beware, this is currently not uptodate despite being from today, because in the meantime I ignored some more transitional packages in these tests, as they are unlikely to be fixed for stretch. I will look at these results tomorrow again and tune some more! Right now, these traditional packages are ignored: # ttf-freefont transfig libpango1.0-0 dh-systemd jadetex libkutils4 libpcap-dev netcat multiarch-support It is planned to not ignore them again, once buster development has started. Only "netcat" OTOH is a direct depends of a debian-edu package. I've choosen to ignore this for now, as netcat depends on netcat-traditional but netcat-openbsd also provides netcat, so I feared there might be situations where some strange depends make us install netcat-openbsd and then we unkowningly rely on it. Unlikely? Yes. But not impossible and given the freeze I want to be safe here. (I believe it's ok to replace traditional depends still now in the release process, *if* it's totally straightforward…) > Packages (dummy -> real): > > gnupg2 -> gnupg So I wouldn't want to fix this one now… way too risky. > myspell-en-gb -> hunspell-en-gb > myspell-it -> hunspell-it > myspell-ca -> hunspell-ca these are very likely fine.
