Migration of emboss and embassy-* to testing?
Hi release team,
I have a question regarding the migration of emboss to testing.
http://release.debian.org/migration/testing.pl?package=emboss
says:
Updating emboss makes 3 depending packages uninstallable on i386: embassy-domainatrix, embassy-domalign, embassy-domsearch
When looking at the according embassy-* pages these are in turn waiting
for emboss-lib. It seems something manual needs to be done to break
this circle.
BTW, there is some other package embassy-phylip in *non-free* which was
just uploaded yesterday (we forgot to update it before Freeze date).
>From our perspective it does not make sense to have an embassy-phylip in
non-free that conflicts to emboss-lib in main. So if you would consider
the manual migration of emboss to testing the Debian Med team should
consider the three options:
1. ask debian-release team for an exception and set an unblock
freeze-exception to this package
2. remove old embassy-phylip from testing and ship Wheezy without
this package in non-free
3. do not migrate all emboss + embassy-+ packages to Wheezy
(leave things as they are now)
The options are ordered to my personal preference but others might
like to have a say.
Kind regards and thanks for all your hard release work
Andreas.
PS. Please leave debian-med@l.d.o in CC.
