Re: Update on "upload of GNOME 2.6 to unstable" status

Ok, we can get mipsel and sparc too, is that enough ?
It's not reasonable to ask a full build of gnome2.6 on the 11 archs.
Having packages ok on i386 is a full time job, there are uploads almost
every day ... doing the work of autobuilders on 10 archs it's simply too
much work, and we don't even have enough boxes to do this.

Who thinks in terms of one arch ? We have 5 full builds. The 1 day is
the time to manage the uploads for these packages in unstable, that's
all.

mipsel and sparc would be enough ?

Yes, gnome2.6 is in this state.

Almost done, we are fixing most of problem directly in unstable, and it
will be done before any upload.
BTW any chance to speed up new libcupsys2 acceptation in experimental ?
The name has changed and it's in NEW ... having it accepted now would be
great since we are waiting on it for the last changes.

PS: could you keep the reply on -gtk-gnome list. I've not subscribed to
-release, and that's the case for most of gnome maintainers I think.
