Bug#658341: Call for Vote: upload of multi-arch enabled dpkg (in time for wheezy)
* Bdale Garbee (bdale@gag.com) [120202 15:16]:
> A. While recognizing the substantial benefits of thorough code review, the
> Technical Committee believes the goal of multiarch support in the
> Debian wheezy release is sufficiently important as to warrant accepting
> the current draft implementation into the archive, even if code review
> by the primary dpkg C maintainer cannot be completed in time. However,
> as much review as possible is strongly desired.
>
> The Technical Committee therefore overrides the decision of the dpkg
> maintainer to require complete code review before upload of the
> multiarch implementation in dpkg to the Debian archive and sets the
> following upload dates:
>
> February 6th: upload to experimental for general testing
> February 20th: upload to unstable
>
> For each of those deadlines, if no implementation of dpkg with
> multiarch support has been uploaded to the archive for that
> distribution by that date, Raphaël Hertzog is empowered by the
> Technical Committee to upload a version of dpkg with multiarch support
> to that distribution. The upload may be done on or after that date,
> when, in his judgement, the dpkg implementation meets the quality
> standards expected for a Debian core package in those archive
> distributions.
>
> The Technical Committee strongly encourages anyone with the required
> knowledge to review the multiarch implementation proposed for upload
> and provide the results of that review to the debian-dpkg list as soon
> as possible so that the code can receive as much review as possible and
> the results of that review can be incorporated into the code by those
> dates. Similarly, the Technical Committee encourages as broad testing
> and review of the experimental implementation as possible so that as
> many bugs as possible can be resolved prior to uploading it to
> unstable.
>
> This option requires a 3:1 majority.
>
> B. The Technical Committee declines to override the decision of the dpkg
> maintainer to hold the dpkg multiarch implementation until he can
> finish code review.
>
> C. Further discussion.
