Thank you to all the maintainers who have updated their packages for the GNUstep transition. Thank you as well to our sponsors, and to Aj for processing our packages that were stuck in NEW. We almost have everything uploaded, so: Important: Please try to avoid making any uploads of GNUstep-related packages from now until all the packages transition into testing, unless absolutely necessary. The current state of the packages, as I understand it is: lynkeos.app: myon has just uploaded my NMU for me (Thanks!), which fixes a compilation error with the new GNUstep library wrapperfactory.app, preferences.app, ftp.app, cddb.bundle, agenda.app, aclock.app: have been binNMUed (Thanks, -release!) steptalk, gnustep-netclasses: had to be reuploaded, and are stuck in NEW (steptalk has also been binNMUed) talksoup.app: waiting for netclasses to get out of NEW meta-gnustep: waiting for NEW before it gets updated There are, in addition, a few packages that should still get their Build-deps updated, but which are not holding back the transition. In order to get the packages transitioned into testing as soon as possible and not be further delayed by NEW processing (<sigh> And NEW processing was going so quickly in August), I am recommending to -release that steptalk, gnustep-netclasses, talksoup, and meta-gnustep be temporarily removed from testing when all other GNUstep packages are ready to go into testing. I apologize to -release, and to everyone else involved, for the delays in the GNUstep transition. Due to the quick NEW processing that we were enjoying in August, I did not expect NEW to be stalled for so long in September when I was planning the transition. Although NEW processing is not entirely to blame, it did affect quite a number of packages. Again, thank you for everyone who has helped out with the transition so far. It hasn't gone as smoothly as I would have liked. But considering that none of the package maintainers involved are DDs yet, I'm pleased with what he have been able to do. P.S. I will be out of town this weekend for a friend's wedding, but will be back on Tuesday. -- Hubert Chan - email & Jabber: hubert@uhoreg.ca - http://www.uhoreg.ca/ PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/124B61FA (Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net) Fingerprint: 96C5 012F 5F74 A5F7 1FF7 5291 AF29 C719 124B 61FA
