Bug#767085: unblock: pcl/1.7.2-2
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Please reduce the 10-day age period to 9 (or less) of this package. Let me
explain the situation:
We have worked hard with a big package: pcl. The package goes to new queue
on June (2014-06-10). It was about 4 months.
- It was rejected because problems in the copyright file. (2014-10-03)
- Upstream in the middle releases a new version. (2014-09-10)
- We worked with the new version and I asked my sponsor to upload it on
Wednesday. (2014-10-15)
- My sponsor upload it on Wednesday (2014-10-22) and ftp-masters upload it to
unstable on Friday. (2014-10-24)
- The same day, a few hours after to be in unstable, someone filled a Important
bug of one binary package #766685: libpcl-dev
- A few hours after I prepare a new version of the package solving the bug and
I uploaded to mentors the new package, commented the bug and asked to my sponsor to
upload the package (2014-10-25). However, I made a mistake and I put UNRELEASED so my
sponsor rejects to upload it.
- On Sunday morning (2014-10-26 Morning (UTC)) I asked to my sponsor to
upload the new version, thinking that the period to have a package in testing
before November 5th ended Sunday 26th 23:55 (UTC) (November 5th - 10 days). My
sponsor upload it this morning 5:57, day 27th.
I don't know if someone will fill any bug against the package before November 5th.
I hope that no. But, we are not in time to be in testing before freeze because
6 hours... so it won't be in Jessie.
Please, could you reduced the 10-day delay?
Thanks in advance.
