There have been problems within emdebian-grip-server that were causing duplicate effort and masking the actual faults beneath a flood of other data. I've now smoothed out the control flow through the scripts, especially within the module, and improved the emgrip-dupes script. (When a package exists in main and dev or doc, the checks that identify packages needing updates get confused.) emgrip-dupes is currently manual (hence still in /usr/share/emdebian-tools/) but the rules it imposes are: 1. If a package is in main, it must not be anywhere else. 2. All source packages must be in main. Rule #1 also applies. emgrip-dupes has three main modes: 1. report issues (default) 2. purge specific packages from main (leaving source intact). 3. trim specific packages to only be in main. In purge mode, binaries are removed one architecture at a time and 'source' is skipped. Implementing these changes has led to a lot of changes in the archive, particularly with packages that exist in dev, doc or debug being removed from main. dev packages: -dev suffix to package name or Section devel or libdevel doc packages: -doc suffix to package name or Section doc debug packages: -dbg suffix to package name or Section debug There are also nearly 200 packages migrated into testing today - the problems caused a bit of a backlog. For now, some dependencies might not be complete - even in testing - so bear with me. If you have particular missing dependencies or broken packages - especially in testing - let me know. (Please check that the same issue does not affect Debian at the same time, including checking if Debian unstable is affected.) -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
