Bug#866878: release.debian.org: should autopkgtest regressions be considered RC?
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: wishlist
Dear Release Team
I recall some discussion from dc16 and I see a talk planned for dc17
[1] on using autopkgtest results for unstable to testing migration.
In other words, package uploads that cause autopkgtests to fail, where
those tests passed previously, should be prevented from migrating to
testing. The regression can be in the uploaded package's own
autopkgtests, or in those of a reverse dependency.
Can a decision please be made, as to whether autopkgtest regressions
will be considered RC for buster, so that bugs of severity level
'serious' can be filed now?
Regards
Graham
