Bug#1001792: should we consider adding some more Breaks?
Hey Mattia, Just found this email misfiled in my inbox — apologies. :/ Please either: let me know which Breaks you'd like to add; a way of parsing them, even by eye, from ci.debian.net (including the right page to look at — I don't use this site very much!); or simply go ahead and add them yourself to the repo and I'll upload. :) Best wishes, Chris > On Sat, Dec 18, 2021 at 05:21:05PM -, Chris Lamb wrote: >> would we have to maintain / keep on top >> of this list, or do you think simply Break-ing on the most common >> package (as you say, djangorestframework) would be enough? > > I'd just put a Breaks on the proper versions, following whatever > autopkgtest/ci.debian.net is reporting, regardless of the "popularity" > of a package. -- ,''`. : :' : Chris Lamb `. `'` la...@debian.org chris-lamb.co.uk `-

I'd just put a Breaks on the proper versions, following whatever autopkgtest/ci.debian.net is reporting, regardless of the "popularity" of a package. -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 66AE 2B4A FCCF 3F52 DA18 4D18 4B04 3FCD B944 4540 .''`.

No objection in principle. But would we have to maintain / keep on top of this list, or do you think simply Break-ing on the most common package (as you say, djangorestframework) would be enough?

Package: python3-django Version: 2:3.2.9-2 Dear maintainer, As mentioned in https://lists.debian.org/debian-backports/2021/12/msg00018.html, django is failing some autopkgtests in backports https://release.debian.org/britney/excuses_backports-stable.html I think that we should be consider ourself lucky that nowadays we have a tool such as autopkgtests to detect all of those things. Having said that, I wonder if python3-django should indeed grow as many Breaks as possible, as to help users (which includes me in some cases heh) to avoid installing a combination of django and its external extensions. As a practical example, I think Breaks on djangorestframework would be quite important, given how widespread it is. Having said all of this, at the moment I don't think there are strict rules about this topic, so I'll leave it to your discretion. -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 66AE 2B4A FCCF 3F52 DA18 4D18 4B04 3FCD B944 4540 .''`.
