Yes, I was expecting that kind of regression, see
https://lists.debian.org/20151204222025.GA14460@home.ouaza.com
So the 3 copies are actually:
- one sent to ffmpeg@packages.debian.org (which forwards to
ffmpeg_contact@packages.qa.debian.org)
- one sent to _auto@packages.debian.org to generate the news
on the old tracker, I disabled the forwarding of this one
to the new tracker.
- one sent to ffmpeg_summary@packages.qa.debian.org
So it means that subscribers to the PTS actually got two copies of such
mails... under two different keywords.
We should fix this now.
Dear, debian-release can you drop the Bcc to
<package>_summary@packages.qa.debian.org on mails emitted by Debian
Testing watch ?
This change is fine:
- subscribers to the old PTS still get a copy via the "contact" keyword
- subscribers to the new PTS get a copy via the summary keyword because
the new PTS does its own classification and recognizes the mails it gets
- anyway, I'll soon move subscriptions from the old PTS to the new one
Once this is fixed I'll try to clean up the duplicate news entries.
Cheers,
