Hello, It seems we have a nice race in unstable between KDE 4.2 and GNOME 2.24/2.26 to see who manages to migrate to testing first. Strictly speaking they would have to go together, because compiz ties them, but we won't be doing that (and will temporarily break compiz-kde in testing). Anyway, this mail is to communicate that we've blocked uploads of a number of packages that could disrupt the GNOME transition, which builds-wise is practically ready, but unfortunately seems to need the infamous #518250 RC bug on shared-mime-info fixed first. A list of blocked packages is attached below. Regarding KDE 4.2, it's almost ready builds-wise as well, and this mail should serve as notice that a block may be put in place in the following days. In that case, the list of packages will be sent to debian-devel and not debian-devel-announce; but most packages will be those maintained by the KDE team itself, and not many individual maintainers, and if you have doubts please ask if it's okay to upload or not. To those planning on placing bets on this race, beware that GNOME having seen its packages blocked before KDE's may not mean that much with respect to the final result! Finally, if you are waiting for some transition-ack from debian-release, please be a bit patient since resources are limited and these two transitions have been sucking big parts of them. P.S.: The GNOME block has been in place for a couple days already; apologies to those who found out about it via a REJECT message instead of this mail. --- Sebastien Bacher <seb128@debian.org>
