Package: tracker.debian.org
Severity: normal
how-can-i-help informs me regularly about packages needing help. Often
(which is not part of this bug report) this information is outdated,
i.e. the package to be removed is no longer removed.
Today, I got informed that several games are removed from Testing, e.g.
pingus. So I followed the link and went to
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/pingus
Ok, there I get the information:
The package has not entered testing even though the 5-day delay is over. Check why.
Which links me to
https://qa.debian.org/excuses.php?package=pingus
However, this page does *not* give any reason:
Migration status for pingus (- to 0.7.6-6): BLOCKED: Rejected/violates migration policy/introduces a regression
Here nothing tells me what policy entry is violated or which
regeression is about to occur.
Then
Issues preventing migration:
Nothing here, execpt that piuparts tested ok, which I don't think is a
problem.
The last line is
Remove hint for (transitive) dependency: sdl-mixer1.2
Now I go (manually) to
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/sdl-mixer1.2
Here I see that a removal is scheduled (but has not happened!), again
"Check why" / https://qa.debian.org/excuses.php?package=sdl-mixer1.2
only tells me that a removal is about to happen (Removal request
by auto-removals), but not why. It even tells me that the most recent
upload is closing a bug.
This is very frustrating.
