too slow. now please signoff 3.08-1
New proposal here. For packages that meet the following criteria (this was on-the-fly, I really don't think it needs to be set in stone): 1. Frequent releases (anything 2 weeks or quicker) 2. Little to no system impact if broken (initscripts would not fit the bill, for instance, but man-pages are not critical) 3. Can be easily verified by the maintainer to be working
Can we skip the signoff procedure? The maintainer is of course free to still ask for it, but it would keep our pipeline from getting logjammed by stuff that really isn't in need of serious testing.
Maybe just have list of packages in core we agree can be moved without signoffs, such as man-pages, tzdata, etc.
Yeah, I thought about this in the beginning, but it's easier to make a blanket rule than to start adding exceptions. I'm interested in hearing opinions on this.
