Hi,

Cyril Brulebois <kibi@debian.org> (2025-05-12):

I do realize it might make some maintainers nervous as the next few days
are the last ones before the hard freeze (scheduled 2025-05-15), and I
do apologize for creating this awkward situation.

The very few packages that were out of sync between testing and unstable
got very special attention (a little more than usual).

Most maintainers were contacted, and responded very positively either to
the proposed earlier migration or to the proposed “let's wait a little” approach.

The other ones weren't contacted because their packages were either too
young (so they were too late regarding the hard freeze anyway) or almost
ready (so they insta-migrated as soon as I lifted the “udeb freeze”) — cryptsetup, libpng1.6, lvm2, during the 16:00Z britney run this Friday.

That being said, the release team has agreed (should it be needed) to
have at least one britney run between my unfreezing udeb-producing
packages, and implementing the hard freeze.

I'm not aware of any other packages that might have been caught up in that last-minute “udeb freeze”, but feel free to reach out to me if you think I've caused any problems.

[ FTR: Tue May 13 21:04:17 2025 +0000 → Fri May 16 15:21:27 2025 +0000]

Thanks for your understanding and your patience.

Thanks to the maintainers I contacted and answered quickly and nicely,
thanks to those who might have been affected and decided to wait it out,
and to the release team for the leeway they were willing to give.


Cheers,
--
