    Hi Folks,

    I have successfully created a patched version of libgrokj2k to fix a serious encoder bug.

    https://mentors.debian.net/package/libgrokj2k/

    Help uploading this to unstable would be greatly appreciated !

    Thanks,
    Aaron

    Without looking at the bug itself, I'd file an RC bug to keep a record
    about why you are targeting this change to testing. (And include that in debian/changelog)

    Since your package doesn't have any autopkgtest, in this stage of the
    freeze, it requires an unblock from the release team, AFAIU: https://release.debian.org/testing/freeze_policy.html#hard
    So, before uploading, you need to get the ACK from them.

    Cheers,

    "According to schedule, we have frozen bookworm a bit more
    (2023-03-12). This means that we are one step closer to the release of bookworm. Like mentioned before we expect everyone to follow the
    freeze policy [1]. This means that from now on key packages [2] and
    packages without significant autopkgtest coverage need to be unblocked
    by the release team to be able to migrate from unstable to testing. If
    you need to request an unblock, check that your request is in line
    with the freeze policy and use $(reportbug release.debian.org) in
    order to get the meta data correct and get the template that helps us
    get the right information."
