Hi,

I saw, that my fix for the FTBFS-bug in the package could not enter
testing, even after the unblock of the release-team. This is caused by a
new upload of libnuma1:

http://packages.qa.debian.org/c/crafty.html
testing migration excuses:
Section: non-free/games
- 26 days old (needed 10 days)
- Ignoring block request by freeze, due to unblock request by zobel
- Valid candidate
- Invalidated by dependency
- Not considered
- Depends: crafty numactl (not considered)

So I privately asked zobel from the release-team, how to proceed. He
told me that I could upload a ~squeeze1 package (built in a testing
chroot) to testing-proposed-updates.

I didn't unnderstand, that the e-mail to debian-release@lists.debian.org
was mandatory and misunderstood the developer reference:

"After uploading and successful build on all platforms, contact the
release team at <debian-release@lists.debian.org> and ask them to
approve your upload."

Here it says "after uploading..."

This is my first release-cycle and I am sorry to cause more workload to
the release-team and promise to do better next time.

Keep up the good work...

Oliver
