Then please instead of fiddeling with closed bugs send those information to me. Well the bug is not closed in unstable and testing yet :) Fine with me, but a mail like this would have been much clearer :-)) For the record: goobox is ready to be uploaded with inotify 0.7 support *iff* 629566 is resolved, i.e. libbrasero-media3-dev is uploaded to unstable. Unfortunately the maintainer of libbrasero-media3-dev seems inactive, i.e. has not responded for almost 2 month regarding his timeframe. Until then the version in experimental has to suffice, unfortunately. Well that pretty annoying. Do you think you could create a patch to fix this in the unstable version? The API has minimal changes and that shouldn't be to complicated. Otherwise the release will remove it from testing to allow the transition of libnotify. I'd rather fix this in one step. Do you know any reason why 629566 can't be resolved? Unfortunately they (you? see below) do not respond to the bug report, and currently I cannot mail them directly (582765). Of course I could see if I could do an upload just fixing your transition, but it's not like I'm bored and do not have anything else to do. And if I knew a reason/timeframe for the libbrasero-media3-dev upload, then I could of course adjust. But I would not be very happy to do the extra work for an upload fixing the libnotify transition alone just to find out two days later that libbrasero-media3-dev was uploaded. And especially given that both libnotify *and* libbrasero-media3-dev have the same maintainer I find it somewhat strange that the intermix (which I denoted by the proper blocks in the BTS) cannot be resolved! (And not even a simple ack to my bug report almost 2 month ago is possible). And removing goobox from unstable would punish the wrong guy/would be quite discouraging. I uploaded to experimental the same day you reported the transition (btw. without a set timeframe), i.e. it's not like I'm not responsive. I even talked with my previous sponsor about this bug before I went on vacation some weeks ago, in case something was happening with 629566. I hope you can talk to your team and check about libbrasero-media3-dev. Depending on the day of the week I can quickly do the upload if necessary.

Unfortunately they (you? see below) do not respond to the bug report, and currently I cannot mail them directly (582765). Well uploading brasero 3 requires other packages to be uploaded in unstable first (mainly nautilus) and would requires all packages using libbrasero-media to be updated to gtk3. So that's not that easy. Of course I could see if I could do an upload just fixing your transition, but it's not like I'm bored and do not have anything else to do. And if I knew a reason/timeframe for the libbrasero-media3-dev upload, then I could of course adjust.

(And not even a simple ack to my bug report almost 2 month ago is possible). That's the game of the soname transition, the release team try to make a transition at a time, to avoid to much contention.. And as said, brasero 3 requires a lot of new libraries from GNOME3 and some of them also require transitions that's why the upload of GNOME 3 in unstable is slow. And removing goobox from unstable would punish the wrong guy/would be quite discouraging. I uploaded to experimental the same day you reported the transition (btw. without a set timeframe), i.e. it's not like I'm not responsive. I even talked with my previous sponsor about this bug before I went on vacation some weeks ago, in case something was happening with 629566. Well the the removal of a package from testing is in release team hands, so I cannot speak for them, but the best to ensure that the package stay in testing is to patch it to use the new API of libnotify. If you need help for the patch feel free to ask on the #debian-gnome on OTFC irc network, or I'll see if I can have a look at it.

Well uploading brasero 3 requires other packages to be uploaded in unstable first (mainly nautilus) and would requires all packages using libbrasero-media to be updated to gtk3. So that's not that easy. Ok, this makes sense. So from this I gather that this upload is some time off. Of course I could see if I could do an upload just fixing your transition, but it's not like I'm bored and do not have anything else to do. And if I knew a reason/timeframe for the libbrasero-media3-dev upload, then I could of course adjust.

(And not even a simple ack to my bug report almost 2 month ago is possible). That's the game of the soname transition, the release team try to make a transition at a time, to avoid to much contention.. No problem, but somehow dependencies do exist when upstream upgrades all dependencies (ports to modern libraries). And as said, brasero 3 requires a lot of new libraries from GNOME3 and some of them also require transitions that's why the upload of GNOME 3 in unstable is slow. Ok. And removing goobox from unstable would punish the wrong guy/would be quite discouraging.

Well the the removal of a package from testing is in release team hands, so I cannot speak for them, but the best to ensure that the package stay in testing is to patch it to use the new API of libnotify. I understand. Given the information you just provided I'll see if I can decouple the transitions in goobox as well, as less as I like it, though. My wish for next time would be to responde to bugs/e-mails with text much sooner, this avoids confusion and speeds things up (goobox would probably be in Testing already). Especially when a lonley bug asks for an upload. If you need help for the patch feel free to ask on the #debian-gnome on OTFC irc network, or I'll see if I can have a look at it. I'll see how far I get myself. I vaguely remember seeing a simple patch in the git repository before the upstream tarball was created, so I might grab that one. Tonight I'll probably do not manage to check it out and tomorrow I'll be probably offline. So probabyl on Wednesday I'll see if I can prepare a new version. To be on the safe side, would an upload at the latest on the weekend be soon enough? (I'll probably would like to check out the resulted binary before upload, given that I do not use the new upstream version). Thanks!
