I can work with that. > What about using a block-proposed bug on the package instead? Hm, let's see how that would work. I file a bug saying this package shouldn't be synced automatically (for example), and add that tag. Then each time there is a debian update, it will not migrate, and I will check if that update is one I want to have. If yes, I remove the tag, let it migrate, and add the tag back again. If not, I leave it as is, or perhaps ask someone from the release team to remove it from proposed? Won't it just be synced again then? -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
