Bug#956590: tracker.debian.org: provide excuse for not migrating to testing
Package: tracker.debian.org
Severity: normal
Occasionally a package uploaded to unstable and waiting for migration
is marked in tracker.debian.org as "Will attempt migration". But it
does not migrate.
A current example is hdf5 1.10.6+repack-1, tracker page
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/hdf5. Listed as ready for migration for
several days now with waiting time 15 days old (needed 5 days), but
still not migrated.
I suspect the actual hold-up is due to bitshuffle ("Too young, only 3
of 5 days old"), part of the auto-hdf5 transition,
https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/auto-hdf5.html
But the tracker page for hdf5 does not say that's the problem, does
not declare what is holding it up.
Obviously some part of the Debian infrastructure, dak or dinstall or
something, knows what's holding up package migration, otherwise it
would have migrated already.
That information should be conveyed to the package page on
tracker.debian.org (and probably also to the excuses page on
qa.debian.org, https://qa.debian.org/excuses.php?package=hdf5 )
