It's the only significant part that's under our power. The other criteria are: 1) the archive admins have to add overrides for the new packages created in 4.3.0-0pre1v5, which has been in queue/new since 6 December; 2) I'd *like* to have confirmed-working reports for 4.3.0-0pre1v5 from as many of the architectures that are going to release with sarge as possible > But I'm not finding the status list terribly helpful, and I'm not sure it's > actually up to date.

That's because 910 has a high numerical prefix, and I hadn't gotten to it yet. :) > Is it reasonable to do the following? > * Look at a patch in the list. > * See if it's already present in upstream 4.3.0; if so suggest marking it > 'upstream'. > * See if it's superseded by a patch present in > branches/4.3.0/sid/debian/patches; if so suggest marking it 'merged' or > 'unchanged', depending. Yes, it is quite reasonable, and I greatly welcome mails of this nature. Please send them to this list. -- G.
