Is there any way to postpone a set of uploaded packages from being
included into the distribution, perhaps with an extra file with a
".wait" extension or something similar? This file could contain the
names of the extra packages that are needed before this package can be
moved from Incoming. If I upload one of these required packages, I can
delete its name from this list. When the "wait" file contains no more
packages, it is deleted and the upload can be incorporated into the
distribution.
Is something like this possible? I'm just trying to come up with a
quick and dirty way to coordinate this between several maintainers.
