[DRE-maint] Bug#1056995: src:pry: fails to migrate to testing for too long: waiting for update of ruby-pry-byebug

[Paul Gevers]

Source: pry
Version: 0.13.1-3
Severity: serious
Control: close -1 0.14.2-1
Tags: sid trixie
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: out-of-sync
Control: block -1 by 1054737

Dear maintainer(s),

The Release Team considers packages that are out-of-sync between testing 
and unstable for more than 30 days as having a Release Critical bug in 
testing [1]. Your package src:pry has been trying to migrate for 33 days 
[2]. Hence, I am filing this bug. The version in unstable can't migrate 
until ruby-pry-byebug is updated (bug 1054737), as both pry and 
ruby-pry-byebug are key packages.

If a package is out of sync between unstable and testing for a longer 
period, this usually means that bugs in the package in testing cannot be 
fixed via unstable. Additionally, blocked packages can have impact on 
other packages, which makes preparing for the release more difficult. 
Finally, it often exposes issues with the package and/or
its (reverse-)dependencies. We expect maintainers to fix issues that 
hamper the migration of their package in a timely manner.

I have immediately closed this bug with the version in unstable, so if 
that version or a later version migrates, this bug will no longer affect 
testing. I have also tagged this bug to only affect sid and trixie, so 
it doesn't affect (old-)stable.

If you believe your package is unable to migrate to testing due to 
issues beyond your control, don't hesitate to contact the Release Team.

Paul
