Checklist for uploading new versions



Hi,

Last two uploads of ruby-grape and ruby-rouge broke gitlab. Please
ensure reverse dependencies don't break when uploading new versions.
Follow these steps.

1. Check 'apt-cache rdepends' for a list of packages that depends on
your package.
2. If you find it has reverse dependencies, please check the
Gemfile/gemspec for its requirements.
3. If it a major version update, you have to check each dependency or at
least give sufficient time for people to adapt to the new version.
Announce your intention of upload and ask uploaders to check compatibility.

For gitlab and diaspora, if you cannot test compatibility, please
contact me, so I can test it.

Managing such a huge dependency list is already hard and it will
definitely help if you avoid creating extra problems.

Thanks
Praveen
