Since we have ported all our packages to Octave 3.6, I suggest to enter a 10-day freeze period, during which we refrain from any upload. Since our last package was uploaded yesterday, the freeze would end on Sunday April 15th. If by that date no new RC bug has been opened and none of the few remaining builds has failed, we could close the dummy RC bug against Octave and have all our packages migrate to testing at the same time. I prefer not to wait for our reverse dependencies because 1) having our packages in testing will increase the incentives for our rdeps to port their package and 2) if we wait we will penalize those maintainers that have already done the porting work (since they will have to wait for the MIA maintainers before having their packages migrate to testing). -- Sébastien Villemot Researcher in Economics & Debian Maintainer http://www.dynare.org/sebastien Phone: +33-1-40-77-84-04 - GPG Key: 4096R/381A7594
