  • Is FTP Master's NEW queue handled manually?

    From Loren M. Lang@21:1/5 to All on Thu Feb 8 02:20:01 2024
    This is just for my own curiosity and understanding. Is the NEW queue on
    FTP Master handled entirely manually?

    I see a number of packages that go back quite a few months, however,
    it's not exactly clear to me what kind of things are holding those
    packages up at least from looking at the website. For example, looking
    at stac-validator, I see it's been in the queue for 6 months now
    looking at the bug report linked for it, there doesn't seem to be any indication of what might be holding it up. Is every item in this queue ultimately waiting for a human to give it a green light or is there some automated check that might block them?

    I'm just trying to better understand the process here and how to tell
    what is holding a package back when it's been in the queue for months. I
    have nothing myself so it's just for understanding.

    Certain Lintian tags cause a package to be rejected automatically, as listed under Lintian Autorejects on ftp-master.debian.org. If the package is not automatically rejected, it is manually reviewed according to the criteria on ftp-master.debian.org/
    REJECT-FAQ.html.
