Thanks for pointing out the issues.
In fact, those 'RFS bugs’ were filed at the very beginning when I was
fixing FTBFS bugs for arm64. The wrong version numbers (“+cfg”) were added
by following the debian-ports' 'Upload Policy’
(http://www.ports.debian.org/archive). The ‘unreleased’ archive is a
temporary archive to help debian arm64 ports
(http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian/dists/unreleased/). I uploaded those
packages to mentors.debian.net so that Wookey could get them, check
their qualities and finally do the upload (to ‘unreleased’ of debian-ports),
since I don’t have right to do so. I filed the RFS bugs by trying to follow
a more formal way to let Wookey know that the packages were uploaded and
where they locates. However, it turns out that ‘debian ports upload policy’
is slightly different, and I realised that those RFS reports are actually
not suitable for our current porting work (In fact, I also realised that ‘RFS’
should be made when someone cannot find a sponsor and I’ve already got one).
Yes, I think I need to cancel all my ‘RFS’ to avoid further misunderstanding
on them.
Thanks again for kindly reminding.
Regards,
Baozi
