Re: [Council] Should Tech Staff and/or Council Remove Dangerous Packages From Extras and Extras-Testing?

Again, this thread been started by MT on behalf of a decision done by council publicly, based on an evaluation that's already finished. And it's clearly adviced to MT in the meeting where we decided about this that we shall ask a last time if there are any technical concerns about removing *patch pkgs from extras and extras-testing repos nothing else, nothing beyond, not whether or not it is a good idea, just technical concerns ((sidenote to estel: when we asked MT in last meeting about that topic, *he* pointed us to *this* thread, so I think it's absolutely fair to say that maybe MT has picked the wrong topic)) Thanks for staying on (real) topic. The thread's topic >>Should Tech Staff and/or Council Remove Dangerous Packages From Extras and Extras-Testing?<< is bogus, since that's never been a question. We *must* remove those. cheers jOERG ps: no, >>general consensus was to revisit exact rules about things forbidden in packages, and giving time for developers to fix it, then starting to take action.<< must been based on a last check some years ago or in some unrelated domain. Neither do rules need any revisiting (see above), nor has there been any known consensus to do that. And developers have explicitly announced that they won't fix anything, in this particular case we talk about here. Consesnus in the council meeeting deciding on it been that *patch will get removed from extras and extras-testing, and we just go here and ask a last time if we have missed out on some technical implications in this. |

cheers jOERG [edit: just a footnote - I'm not a friend of spending weeks to set up rules for each niche case that shouldn't even happen if the already existing rules wouldve been followed. Rather allow those who care about stuff to handle things according to the particular case and trust in their common sense. We already spent hours to decide how to handle this particular case, and we discussed it with quite a number of community people in public, before we decided. I don't see the point in making that another ruleset, rather make sure we never again need to deal with a similar situation. I.E. review testing rules, who may test and how results of testers get handled] |
