testing migrations
  • excuses:
    • Migration status for debian-faq (10.1 to 11.0): BLOCKED: Rejected/violates migration policy/introduces a regression
    • Issues preventing migration:
    • ∙ ∙ Not built on buildd: arch all binaries uploaded by toddy, a new source-only upload is needed to allow migration
    • Additional info:
    • ∙ ∙ Piuparts tested OK - https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/d/debian-faq.html
    • ∙ ∙ 53 days old (needed 5 days)
    • Not considered
