See > http://release.debian.org/britney/hints/README As I understand "age-days" indicates that a particular version of a package should default to needing <days> days instead of whatever the upload urgency might imply.' means exactly that the urgency for migration to testing is replaced by another (more exact) value, and thus ignores the current value altogether. > Perhaps your patch would gain by being a bit more precise. As (at least one member of) the release team thought it unnecessary to document this at all, I decided to keep the patch small. My original wording was: """You can request to have the urgency of your current package changed by filing an appropriate bug report against the release.debian.org pseudo-package. Please state the reason clearly.""" Do you prefer such a text instead of the current text? > Also, the urgency might be used for other purposes than the > transitions to Testing (like determining the priority for > autobuilding ?) I have not seen any documentation on this, so I am not authoritative to comment on this. > By thw way, is the sentence "Those delays may be doubled during a > freeze" still acccurate ?
