Re: delayed package removal from testing



Hi Jonas,

I wonder why debian-parl was removed from testing today, since (as I
understand it) the reason for removal was solved 2 days ago.

parl-desktop-eu in testing at the time of removal had a dependency on iitalian. It's iitalian that has an RC bug. The only way to remove iitalian from testing was to also remove reverse dependencies.

Is there perhaps some spell I could have thrown when uploading a known
close-to-deadline package?  E.g. the trick of posting something to a
bugreport to reset its timer?

Pinging the RC bug that's causing the removal is indeed the way to delay the removal (mind you, there's some delay between updating a bug and the removal script being aware of the ping, so don't wait till the last moment). In this case slightly inappropriate as the bug is in another package, but we don't have anything better.
