Developers are supposed to know what they're doing with the urgency field. It can be used to decrease the quarantine time of a particular upload (and all subsequent ones until the package manages to get installed in testing). > wouldn't be suprised if the maintainers didn't even notice that. For Most of us don't bother too much with testing, unless we're trying to get something into testing for one particular reason or another (such as, the package in testing is too damn buggy, or has a security hole). There are only so many hours in a day, you see. > instance webmin does not seem to have a release critical bug but it's not in > testing at all. This is usually caused by dependencies. A package cannot move into testing if the packages it depends on are not in testing (or being moved into testing as well). -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
