Openssh is frozen.
$ grep-excuses openssh
openssh (1:3.8.1p1-4 to 1:3.8.1p1-8)
Maintainer: Matthew Vernon
20 days old (needed 2 days)
Package is in freeze; use testing-proposed-updates for changes
ssh (alpha, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc) is (less) buggy! (1 <= 2)
Not considered
Depends: openssh gtk+2.0
$
This is therefore likely to be a candidate for testing-proposed-updates;
but please coordinate with debian-release before uploading, as Colin may
have specific plans in this area.
As for the status of the tiff freeze, between a lack of diligence on my
part in sending out direct emails to affected maintainers and a
bewildering lack of sense from maintainers of some packages that depend
directly on libtiff and shouldn't have had to be told, the transition
has been delayed several days due to unexpected uploads. It looks like
we may be in a position to push this through tomorrow, given certain
strategic temporary removals from testing.
Between the library-related delays and the buildd backlog, it is quite
likely that the freeze will have to be pushed back a few more days as
well -- though attempts to sneak changes in with uploads after the
posted last-call will still be frowned upon. I'll send something more
concrete when Colin and I have a chance to review the extent of the
impact.
