These are nicely visible as "downstream projects" on https://jenkins.debian.net/job/chroot-installation_sid_bootstrap/ but beware, this is currently not uptodate despite being from today, because in the meantime I ignored some more transitional packages in these tests, as they are unlikely to be fixed for stretch. I will look at these results tomorrow again and tune some more! Right now, these traditional packages are ignored: # ttf-freefont transfig libpango1.0-0 dh-systemd jadetex libkutils4 libpcap-dev netcat multiarch-support It is planned to not ignore them again, once buster development has started. Only "netcat" OTOH is a direct depends of a debian-edu package. I've choosen to ignore this for now, as netcat depends on netcat-traditional but netcat-openbsd also provides netcat, so I feared there might be situations where some strange depends make us install netcat-openbsd and then we unkowningly rely on it. Unlikely? Yes. But not impossible and given the freeze I want to be safe here. (I believe it's ok to replace traditional depends still now in the release process, *if* it's totally straightforward…) > Packages (dummy -> real): > > gnupg2 -> gnupg So I wouldn't want to fix this one now… way too risky. > myspell-en-gb -> hunspell-en-gb > myspell-it -> hunspell-it > myspell-ca -> hunspell-ca these are very likely fine.
