First of all, I apologize for complicating this matter with my upload. I will be more careful to check for this before uploading newly adopted packages. I am sure that this idea has been discussed before, but it seems to me that it would be fairly straightforward to implement a mechanism whereby all packages involved in transitions could be explicitely marked as frozen in unstable, preventing new uploads from succeeding before the transition was complete. I absolutely agree that a certain amount of diligence should be required from all developers, but it also seems that technical solutions should also be put in place insasmuch as possible. (Maybe I simply under-estimate the difficulty of this proposition, being entirely unfamiliar with the current infrastructure.) cheers, Charles -- Here's something That could Even soak The whiskers off A radio joke Burma-Shave http://burma-shave.org/jingles/1938/heres_something
