Hello, I don't know if the question is very appropriate in this list, but since it will be useful for new maintainers whose packages are uploaded to the archives, I figured out that it might be appropriate. If not, please point me to the correct place to ask.
The matter is that I got a new version of an existing package compiled and uploaded by a sponsor (I'm just DM so I can't directly upload my stuff), and the package is stuck in the "new" queue of the ftp masters machine for two weeks. I realize that there are a lot of packages to be processed, some in the queue older than mine, but most of those have several versions uploaded which indicate that maybe they have packaging problems, and many packages newer than mine were already processed in this time lapse. The previous packages that I had created and needed to go in the "new" queue were processed within a couple of days. So I am wondering whether my package has a specific problem (though I was not contacted by ftp masters in any way), or it's just a matter of time before it gets processed (e.g. they are busy with updates related with the freeze), or what. What I would want to know, in particular: 1- If this is normal, or if having to wait for >1 week indicates that the package has some kind of problem. 2- In the latter case, do FTP contact you (even by receiving some kind of REJECT notification), or are you supposed to ask them what's the problem after some time? 2.1- If so, what's would be the time appropriate to ask? 1 month for example? 2.2- What would be the correct way to contact them -- some email emailing list or a bug report to the pseudo-package? I'd gladly accept any other suggestion to try to find out why my package takes so long to be processed. Thanks and cheers. -- Manuel A.
