Hi,

the release team points people to the tracker to find out about a
package's migration status. I would be nice to know what would happen to
a package when it gets uploaded during a freeze. Maybe it is possible to
indicate things like "this is a key package and needs a manual unblock
to migrate at this time during the freeze" or "this package only has
superficial autopkgtests and needs a manual unblock to migrate" etc.

Greetings

Hi!

I think this is probably related to #1039864?

Thanks,
Guillem

Hi!

Sorry forgot, and probably also #1039863?

Thanks,

Very much so. Thanks.

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/devscripts says
∙ ∙ blocked by freeze: is a key package (Follow the freeze policy when applying for an unblock)

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/diffoscope says
∙ ∙ not blocked: has successful autopkgtest

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/debian-security-support says
∙ ∙ Ignoring block request by freeze, due to unblock request by sramacher
(and before that it said it was blocked by the freeze...)

so I think most of what you want is there already?

As Far as I know, this informtion only displays when a package is
actually waiting to migrate. I'd like to know how much pain I am likely
to feel when I do a new unstable upload.

Hi!

And that changes depending on the stage of the freeze we are in. For
example I uploaded a package with minor routine updates for the release,
several days before the hard freeze, and thought it would get in even
if crossing over the hard-freeze (as it has autopkgtests), as I had
forgotten (as I usually do in these cases) that it was a key package.
Having this information available in the tracker and the DDPO would
probably have helped me in that case. (This particular case is not a
big deal, because if there are migration worthy changes I'd need to
do, I can always revert and request an unblock, but it's not ideal.)

Thanks,
Guillem
