(e.g. javac->maven, cdbs->dh, ...) 19:29:48 <_rene_> they don't break stuff, but... 19:29:48 _rene_ several are blocked 19:30:10 <_rene_> k, thanks. didn't check, my bad 19:30:19 [19:26:17] sudip (and _rene_) thanks, blocked 19:30:46 I can modify my script to detect changes in cdbs->dh also (if needed) 19:31:32 sudip: I think we don't want to actively go looking around if people are not following the policy excactly 19:31:44 I mean, they just should 19:31:51 or we automate it in britney 19:32:12 but all this manual searching sounds like we're police men 19:32:15 wer'e not 19:32:25 ok, do you want me to continue checking for new/dropped binary till the hard freeze? 19:32:36 we just set some rules to enable a smooth release 19:33:00 I rather have you spend time on fixing bugs 19:33:05 :) 19:33:38 ack 19:33:45 #topic AOB 19:33:50 anybody? 19:34:42 going once 19:34:48 is there another round rebuild for out dated built using? 19:35:02 zhsj: we'll get to that, yes 19:35:10 ok 19:35:30 ivodd did the first round and I voluteered to do another one 19:36:02 https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/ReleaseTeam/ReleaseCheckList/BullseyeCheckList has it listed to remind us 19:36:22 I have to update my script to check for binNMUs in unstable that didn't migrate (yet) 19:36:49 because in that case it usually doesn't make sense to schedule another rebuild in unstable 19:36:55 right 19:38:10 going twice 19:39:00 #topic Next meeting 19:39:09 #info Next meeting is 24th March at 19:00 UTC (import into your calendar via https://release.debian.org/release-calendar.ics) 19:39:22 #endmeeting
