I need voluptuous for OpenStack. So unless someone needs the version in
Unstable, I prefer to not risk to break anything, and upload updates to
Experimental, just in case the new version breaks something in the older
release of OpenStack. My intention was to upload Voluptuous to Unstable
when Newton was out. However, if you need it, then it's fine to upload
to Unstable, and if something break in OpenStack, then it's up to me to
repair... :)
As of today, the only rdepends are:
python-voluptuous
Reverse Depends: gertty (1.3.1-1)
Reverse Depends: lava-dev (2016.6-2)
Reverse Depends: lava-server (2016.6-2)
Reverse Depends: python-gnocchi (2.0.2-6)
Reverse Depends: python-tooz (>= 1.34.0-2)
Reverse Depends: python-watcher (>= 0.28.0-2)
So, except lava, everything else is OpenStack related, so I think it's
ok to follow this type of workflow.

Well, if you look at tracker.debian.org, then you'll see that I uploaded
the package in early June, when I had still no commit rights to the git
of the DPMT. Therefore, I couldn't "git push".
Unfortunately, after I got my write access back, I forgot about
Voluptuous, and therefore didn't git push. Sorry for that, and thanks so
much for doing the work of pushing the changes.

The file here:
https://github.com/openstack/requirements/blob/master/upper-constraints.txt
shows that OpenStack Newton (currently in Experimental) is right now
gating on 0.9.1 upstream, so 0.9.2 is probably fine as well. Please go
ahead, you're saving me some work! :) Hopefully, this wont break Mitaka
(currently in Sid).
Cheers,
Thomas Goirand (zigo)
