IMO that should help a lot with packages getting stuck in the QA queue.
Promotion is unlocked then, the maintainer still needs to push it. The maintainer will receive an email that he can promote the package. Automatic promotion is something which would need to be added to the unlock part.

If there is consensus about doing automatic promotion on unlock, then I can add that to the code.

There is also a problem to promote packages depending on libsdl-ttf2.0-0.

Do someone knows what is the status of that problem? Can that prohibition be revoked?

While I'm for that - I'd like to see a bit wider discussion on the topic if it's ok for others so we don't act against the community's will. Maybe the council can make the call?

Afaik that was added because it broke something in some PR release. But I really can't find what it was about anymore. If it works with PR1.3 or CSSU, I guess it can be removed.

Nowadays that manual step is preventing a lot of applications to be promoted. Right now 49 applications are eligible for promotion (maybe not all depending on that step, but most).

As there aren't many testers, the process is taking time and there is a good chance that the original developer have moved to a different platform or is no longer interested in doing anything more with his application.

Consider that if the original maintainer had already promoted the application to Testing, it's because he considered it suitable for promotion, so there is no point in requiring another manual step.

It's working with both, but I would wait to someone expert in SDL (Javispedro?) to clarify.

@X-Fade, are you aware that the bug with kernel-power packages not appearing in fremantle extras-devel web interface is still not solved https://bugs.maemo.org/12284? I am posting here as noone has commented on the bugtracker since the bug has been reopened and both me and Pali were not able to reach you through IRC.

Do you have any idea what's wrong, is it that kernel-power build scripts somehow provoke autobuilder/whatever to go nuts or there is another problem? Any help on that will be appreciated.

I remember this well. It was bug 10450.
I will _never_ understand why it was refused to fix the wrongly-named binary SDK package.
This can be fixed for SSU, but I do not think anyone has done it yet.

I do not know what has happened since that bug. If the crappy-dev-package is still on the SDK repo, it should get pulled before the Debian repackaged one (because "osso" > "maemo"), and therefore the built package should dep on libsdl-ttf2.0 (no -0), avoiding the blockage. So no idea why it deps on -0 atm.

Well, I do have an application that I uploaded to testing, then got a complain about a serious issue although in a very corner-case configuration.
So I decided that I would not promote it, wanting to build a new version, but time passes...

In any case, the point is that I wouldn't do it automatically. There's an automated email reminder, and I think that's enough already.

If you think that could be fixed in CSSU, just open a bug against it along with the original bug report.
