</I>
Could this apply only to "-backport" media and not "-backport_testing " media
? I would find good to be able to send a package very quickly to
backports_testing so that I can start to be tested as soon as possible. A
whole week for that would be a long time, considering that after that you have
to add more time so that the backport can be tested.
By the way I think a packager usually knows the risks there is to send a
package too quickly to the backports and that we don't necessarily need to
enforce such a strict "1 week" rule. Especially when sending to
backports_testing first.
><i> - cannot be backported if this is not a leaf package, will be revised
</I>><i> later
</I>
I would like to be less strict, by replacing "leaf package" by "leaf group of
packages, tighly tied together by strict requires".
Examples :
- A requires newer B and C, and no other package requires B and C (quite
common with games where data are split into separate packages) => you can
backport A, B, C. To me this situation should be possible.
- A requires newer B, but D depends on B too => you can't backport A and B
alone, but if the maintainers consider it acceptable to enforce upgrade of D
when someone wants to upgrade A or upgrade of A when someone wants to upgrade
D (could be related pieces of software), then you can backport A, B and D (and
make sure to set the good requires). To me this situation would be nice to
have as an available option.
Best regards
