Hello (again) :) $ ping release-team
2010/3/19 Michael Vogt <m...@debian.org>: > bin-NMUs. The ABI break is required for following new features: > - allow multiple ddtp translation downloads > - allow Packages file without long descriptions [0] > - preparation of the cache/data structures for multi-arch support > - better logging > On a sidetrack it would be good to know if we should tag RC bug > #558784 [1] as squeeze-ignore and work together on the issue after the > squeeze release or if untagged immediately as you are also the > maintainer of the debian-archive-keyring. It would be fabulous if someone from the release team could comment on the first, the second or even both issues, so we can plan ahead. If the running/pending transitions are to many currently and if that will not change in the near future we will try to backout the breaks so we can release an intermediate non-breaker, but this additional work would be worthless if you intend to give us a time-slot shortly after that… Or did we miss something? Should we: open a bugreport, provide a list of whatever is needed, ping at another place, pray to (another) deity¹, …? (I am new to the process so any hint/suggestion is welcomed) I also want to emphasis that this is an ABI break - not an API break, so in an ideal world all rdepends just need to be rebuild. I tried this in the past weeks a few times with the bigger users² and so far everything builds and works as expected.
