Author Some questions

I'm a (newbie) maintainer of gnome-ppp package and i'm somehow confused.

package overview page (http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/gnome-ppp.html)
says that new version of package hasnt entered testing because it wasn't
built on arm. But build log on looks pretty clean and i should think
that the package was built successfully. Can someone explain me what's
the problem there then?

and one more question:

QA package overview page (http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?
package=gnome-ppp&comaint=yes) says that the package is uninstallable on
s390 on sid. How can I check why?


Thanks!

PS I know that's there is 0.3.14 is out, I'm waiting for my sponsor to
upload it to debian. He's pretty busy now.

PPS Sorry for my english.

please send this kind of questions to debian-mentors@l.d.o. [m-f-t set]

uhm, you just uploaded 0.3.14-1 today, so most likely it hasn't been
built on any architecture yet.

I'll assume you're talking about the previous version 0.3.13-1, which
is what indeed p.qa.d.o still talks about.

your package has been built but has not been installed. read [1] for a
description of the possible states and see figure at [2]. if I'm not
wrong, your package gnome-ppp/0.3.13-1 has been stuck in the "admin
signs and mails log" box in that figure since Jul 23 16:32 [3].

it doesn't say 'sid' anywhere. in fact, the "Uninstallable" header is
a link to http://www.debian.org/devel/testing. haven't looked at it,
though.

ah, ok. so you were talking about 0.3.13.
