Re: Does a temporarily dropped binary package have to re-enter via NEW?



Hi,

Hi,

I have a package that provides multiple compute backends, all shipped as
separate binary packages.

One of these backends requires a toolchain that, because of transitions
and dependencies on transitions, will not be able to migrate to testing
for what I believe will be a longer period. So it's holding back the
rest of my package.

If I temporarily drop the binary package of this backend from my source
package, will it have re-enter via NEW when I activate it again at some
point in the future (say, 3 months from now)?

Best,

Consider using Experimental suite wisely. A placeholder package in experimental will not be dropped until NVIU (new version in unstable) happens.
