Re: Possible unblock request of snort+daq into testing?

Dear Release Managers,
Snort and Daq where removed from testing on December 7th following an
upload
to the daq library which did not follow the freeze policy.
Currently, both Snort (2.9.7.0-4) and daq (2.0.4-3) have been
available in
unstable for more than a month. Both bugs are RC-free.
I would like to know if it would be OK for me to request an unblock
request for
these packages in order for them to be included (again) into testing.
Back in November 2014, Ivo described the solution to have snort and daq
into Jessie (See [1]). Unfortunately, this didn't happen and he was
forced
to remove the packages from Jessie, as announced. We understand that
the
outcome will not benefit for our users and we carefully read your
arguments.
But we cannot accept the packages into Jessie now, especially when the
recommended solutions have not been implemented. It is rather late now
and
we are focused on reducing Jessie's RC bugs only. I hope you will
understand
our position too.
