The question if the package will ever make it to community - most people won't have community-testing enabled. It's not very typical for new packages that weren't in the repositories before. My guess it was because an alpha version was packaged, which shouldn't have been packaged in the repos in the first place.

I'm the packager for pijul (in community).
There's a decent chunk of packages in community that have alpha/beta releases so I assumed it was OK. Apologies if this is not the case.
It's not *actively monitored*, but this is really not supposed to happen... sometimes it does happen anyway if the current version is very buggy and currently breaking people's systems, upstream is not tagging a new release any time soon, and using an alpha/beta will improve the state of affairs, but that's pretty different from uploading a brand new package as an alpha, and one that nothing else depends on even. e.g. a notable one that I'm aware of is qt5-webkit which unfortunately is not very well maintained by Qt and the alpha by annulen provides life support with e.g. various needed security fixes. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
