You indeed missed someone (for obvious reasons): I'd like to thank the release team for their excellent work! > The release of buster also means the bullseye release cycle is about to begin. > From now on, we will no longer allow binaries uploaded by maintainers to > migrate to testing.

Forcing hundreds of maintainers to do two uploads for a new package seems to me like the wrong solution for the conflicting interests of the ftp team (wants to see binary packages for review in NEW) and the release team (doesn't want to see binary packages in testing not built by buildds). I hope that there will be a better solution for this dilemma in the not too distant future. If throwing away binaries is too problematic, as Niels mentioned, maybe SomeThing™ could build a binary package for the ftp-masters for source-only uploads to NEW. Or people knowing the whole infrastructure better than me have smarter ideas :) Cheers, gregor -- .''`. https://info.comodo.priv.at -- Debian Developer https://www.debian.org : :' : OpenPGP fingerprint D1E1 316E 93A7 60A8 104D 85FA BB3A 6801 8649 AA06 `. `' Member VIBE!AT & SPI Inc. -- Supporter Free Software Foundation Europe `- NP: Beatles
