Bug#908931: transition: gnat-8, Ada component of gcc-8
The naive question at the end of the request was sincere.
What should I do exactly?
Should I rebuild and reupload each package manually?
Or prepare lines like:
nmu adabrowse_4.0.3-9 . ANY . -m 'Reupload to unstable to complete the gnat-8 transition.'
dw music123_16.4-3 . ANY . -m 'gnat (>= 8)'
dw topal_78-1 . ANY . -m 'gnat (>= 8)'
Should I fill separate bugs for the removal of polyorb and spark?
Instructions at https://release.debian.org/wanna-build.html seem
contradictory.
If the binNMUs are required by a transition, please check if there
is an open bug for that transition in the release.debian.org
pseudopackage, and if so request the binNMUs by following up on that
bug report.
[...]
If you're asking for binNMUs for a transition, you need not use this
syntax, nor give a comprehensive list of packages: the Release Team
has tools to auto-generate it, and will do so anyway. Just mention if
any package should not be binNMUed for some reason.
gb and dw are for failed builds only. Once a package has been built
and added to the archive, use a binNMU to rebuild it.
Thanks.
