That means it works, right now. But not being in the distro means

Honestly, at this point I'd -1 an add like this. I think pulling a

Yeah, wasn't suggesting we do that long term, just pointing out that it 
is a release issue, not a current code issue.

Hi,

So the way that the package syncs works from Debian to Ubuntu is that 
a package usually moves from Experimental-Unstable-Testing, Ubuntu 
usually picks the package up in Unstable and gets placed in Universe 
(usually). However that doesnt mean that the package will hit the 
cloud archive as well.
How does a package make these transitions?  Certmaster has been in 
Experimental since 2009.

chuck

It looks unmaintained to me, it never got out of experimental.

 How does a package make these transitions?  Certmaster has been in
 Experimental since 2009.

When a package is in Sid for N days without release critical bugs (N can
be 5 or 10), and if all of its dependencies are in Testing, then it
migrates automatically from Sid to Testing.

Packages in Experimental never migrates to anything, they have to be
uploaded to Sid at some point.

In this specific case, I would suggest that you submit a bug against the
package (see http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting if you don't know
how), asking for the package to be uploaded in Sid. If after 1 month you
get no reply, then you can ping me, and I will NMU (non-maintainer
upload) the package into Sid (through the 2 days delayed queue, to let
the current maintainer react on it if he do not agree). Please send me
the bug report when you're done with it, and ping me if nothing happens
after a month.

Note that if there's not even a reply to the bug tracker after a month,
we can consider the current maintainer as MIA (Missing In Action), and
ask for the package to be Orphaned (so that someone else may adopt the
package).

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)

[openstack-dev] Package from Debian for Devstack?

In order to provide Devstack a better certificate management example, we

This package is in Debian, but not in Ubuntu.

For example

How does one go about installing a package like this for devstack? Do we 
need to get it into the underlying distro, or is a cross distro install 
acceptable?
