Upload of TeX Info 7.0.x to unstable?
Dear Lucas,
TeX Info version 7.0 was released last year at beginning of November and
was uploaded to experimental. We got a few bug reports, which were
addressed by upstream authors promptly.
Since then two bugfix releases appeared (currently 7.0.2) and we could
think about uploading to unstable. According to [1] we are neither in
the tool chain nor would this be a transition. Nevertheless we know that
a few(?) packages use makeinfo and texi2* to convert documents, so
uploading could cause breakage and FTBFS bugs when building docs.
I asked the question already to "debian-release@lists.debian.org" and
they asked me, if I "did perform a test rebuild of the reverse build
dependencies". As I don't know how to do that and don't have the HW
resources to do so they pointed me to [2]. May I ask you to help me and
trigger the test rebuilds?
The TexInfo 7.0.2 package was uploaded to experimental, so it is
currently already in the archive. Many thanks!
Hilmar
