• help about package transitions

    From Bo YU@21:1/5 to All on Mon May 23 15:30:01 2022
    Hi,

    About two monthes ago, kilobyte help me to upload jimtcl to exp.
    But now I have some questions about debian package transitions [0].
    * Now it has displayed on the ben page[1] with "auto-" string
    * And it is ok to build on all arch for the previous upload(0.79+dfsg0-3)
    * But what is "Test rebuild reverse dependencies"?
    ```
    vimer@dev:~$ apt-rdepends -r libjim0.79
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree... Done
    Reading state information... Done
    libjim0.79
    Reverse Depends: jimsh (>= 0.79+dfsg0-3)
    Reverse Depends: libjim-dev (= 0.79+dfsg0-3)
    Reverse Depends: openocd (>= 0.11.0-1)
    Reverse Depends: usb-modeswitch (>= 2.6.1-3)
    jimsh
    libjim-dev
    openocd
    Reverse Depends: hdmi2usb-mode-switch (>= 0.0.1-2)
    hdmi2usb-mode-switch
    usb-modeswitch
    ```
    Need I to build openocd and usb-modeswitch packages with jim0.81?

    * Request a transition slot from the release team (reportbug release.debian.org)
    Should I send transition request?(sure, there is a template to copy)
    * Wait for ACK. Ok, I understand it. The ack from release team.
    * Upload to unstable after ACK. Ok, you had told me :)
    * NMU reverse dependencies as needed? What is the meaning?
    NMU is Non-maintainer upload, but why it has related with reverse dependencies?

    Oh, sorry, I have asked so many questions about the transitions:(
    I am ashamed because there is transitions doc detailed. But for me,
    I had to figure out the mechanism if want to maintain the package

    Thank you,

    Bo
