Hello Release Team,

I probably made a mistake. I uploaded ibus to unstable on 2021-03-03, and
since it was well before 2021-03-12 I thought it would be treated as a Soft
Freeze upload. But now I see at  that
it has been blocked by freeze since ibus is a key package.

The upload includes an upgrade to a new upstream release. At first hand I
wanted to get the updated translations into bullseye. My reasoning behind
bumping the upstream version follows.

The upstream changes are summarized here:

https://github.com/ibus/ibus/releases/tag/1.5.24

* The most important change, the addition of a GTK4 IM module, is a no-op
for us at this time, since the upload was built without GTK4 support.

* The dialog to warn about deprecated IBus XKB engines is already in testing
via a patch that cherry picks the upstream change.

* The other non-translation changes are minor (upstream) bug fixes and
improvements, which I deemed to be within the scope of a Soft Freeze upload.

So if you agree that the changes are low risk, it would be great if you
could unblock ibus and with that effectively treat the upload as a Soft
Freeze one.

I attached the debdiff between testing and unstable. It's big.. But I ask
you to evaluate it in the light of my reasoning above.


  208 files changed, 8499 insertions(+), 2691 deletions(-)

That's too much for us to review.


Actually I agree. If I had realized that it was too late to migrate 
without a release team review, I hadn't uploaded the new upstream 
version. Now I have learned that the dates in the freeze policy timeline 
do not refer to uploading, as I thought, but to migration.



Could you please provided a filtered diff which only contains the relevant
changes?


TBH I think it would not be worth it. Too much work both for me and for 
the release team.


I filed this bug in the hope that you would overlook my mistake and 
unblock without really reviewing the whole diff. After all it would 
probably have been in bullseye now if I had uploaded it two days earlier...


But staying with 1.5.23-2 in bullseye is fine too. The translations I 
wanted to get in are not so important.


My upload to unstable can't be undone. Is it ok to simply keep the block 
for bullseye and let it migrate to testing later? If it is - and if you 
haven't changed your mind ;) - I would suggest that you tag this bug 
"wontfix". I'll respect and understand that. Lesson learned.
