That's a lot nicer on our infrastructure than repeatedly uploading packages that fail on one of the more resource-happy architectures. > * Other Gnome 2 issues -- I don't know about these; I don't use gnome. One of the problems that concerns me most (as a user) is the gnucash build-time test bug. Someone needs to make a determination of whether the test is wrong, or the code is wrong. If the test is wrong, great -- that's an easy fix. If the test accurately simulates scenarios that could occur during normal usage, that's going to be painful, but still needs to be done if gnucash is to be in decent shape for sarge. > ---- > What would be really nice if it was done: > * glibc which doesn't use stock kernel headers finished and uploaded. If this isn't going to make the cut, we'll want to know pretty soon; this is the correct way to fix the showstopper busybox brokenness on ia64 and alpha, so if we're not going to get the correct fix in, we'll have to agree on a kludge. > * c102 transition finished, or all untransitioned packages removed: see > http://people.debian.org/~willy/gcc-transition/ > Things are close, really close.

There are no longer any packages depending on libdb2++ in testing, so all it takes is an upload. > * Uninstallable binaries in testing fixed up (a list of reasons for each > one wouldn't hurt in dealing with this....) > http://ftp-master.debian.org/testing/testing_probs.html There's a mix of packages slated for removal, packages that were slated for removal and now need to be updated instead, packages that will clear up once the testing binaries are up-to-date on all archs, and Other. It's probably too early to be worth trying to list all the reasons individually, given how many of these are duplicates from other lists currently being worked on. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
