Hi Andreas, Thanks for having a look at my request. On 10-11-14 14:45, Andreas Tille wrote: > Hi Lennart, > > could you please commit the pristine-tar branch as per Debian Med policy? Done. My apologies for forgetting that, I'm still struggling a bit with git. I did the following: git checkout pristine-tar Since it turned out that there were merge conflicts when I did a regular 'git pull' I ran: git pull -X theirs git push Is this (checkout, pull, push) the correct way to do it? Or should I have run `gbp-pull` to get all branches in and then run `git push --all --tags` to push everything? In fact, when I run `git push --tags` I get the following error: To git+ssh://git.debian.org/git/debian-med/probabel.git ! [rejected] upstream/0.4.2 -> upstream/0.4.2 (already exists) error: failed to push some refs to 'git+ssh://git.debian.org/git/debian-med/probabel.git' hint: Updates were rejected because the tag already exists in the remote. Is there a way to sync the tags (or to let my copy accept the one on git.debian.org? > > Please also note that the upload will be happen to experimental instead > of unstable since we are in Freeze (feel free to ask if you do not > understand this). I've read about the Freeze (and unfortunately couldn't get the fix done in time). Since v0.4.4 fixes an important bug (which rendered one third of the package useless) I was wondering about how to get a freeze exception. Reading https://release.debian.org/jessie/freeze_policy.html it seems to me that bug fix like this can be considered under: ii. fixes for severity: important bugs in packages of priority: optional or extra, only when this can be done via unstable (until the 5th of December 2014); However, when I read the section 'How to get an unblock' I'm wondering if this applies to bugs in the software or bugs in the packaging (i.e. where it says: "Only make changes that are necessary to fix the bug". Any suggestions as to how to move forward (if this is possible at all)? Thanks a lot, Lennart. > > Kind regards > > Andreas. > > On Mon, Nov 10, 2014 at 10:09:12AM +0100, L.C.
