Hi folks,

I uploaded a package to Extras devel earlier today using Extras Assistant, but it has not yet turned up as imported. I was thinking about pushing this package to testing, but I am unable to do this without the package showing up as imported first.

The package in question is "trafikanten":
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...anten/1.0.0-2/

Last time I uploaded the package, it was imported within a few hours, but now it has been over half a day. I also tried yesterday by pushing it with SSH, but without luck.

Do you have any suggestions to what might have gone wrong? The build seems successful and I can't find any errors in the cauldron's build list (for the last 1.0.0-2 build, that is).

The only difference between now and earlier times I've uploaded is that I used epoch to make sure the new version was bigger than the previous one. (It was 0:1.0.0-rc3 and the new one is 1:1.0.0-2). Could this affect the import?

I figured the package was not imported because the non-epoch part of the version number was still lower than before. It seems like this is a bug in Maemo's package repository.

The previous version was 0:1.0.0-rc3 and the new was 1:1.0.0-0. As you see, I used the epoch of 1 to make the latter higher than the former. This made the package build without complaining on the autobuilder, but it still was not imported.

Incrementing to version 1:1.0.1-0 fixed the problem with the import, but to me this seems like a bug in the package repository's import function. In this case, there was no big problem, but if someone accidentally types 92.3.4 as the version number instead of 2.3.4, he or she will be unable to import the package without jumping to a higher version number than 92.3.4. So the whole point in using the epoch (a number and a colon in front of the version number) seems to be defeated.

If this is a bug, where should it be reported?

https://bugs.maemo.org/

Thanks, mikkov. I was thinking about bugs.maemo.org, but I'm still a bit unsure about which "project" it should be filed under. The list of possible ones is quite huge:
https://bugs.maemo.org/enter_bug.cgi...fication=__all
Maybe maemo.nokia.com Website is the one I should use?

No, because you can see that maemo.nokia.com is completely different from maemo org whcih we are talking about. So find appropriate component under maemo.org website.

I find bugzilla fairly organised as long as you don't switch it to unorganised by looking at all categories at once.

Thanks for the tip!

I was actually thinking about the maemo.org component, since it had the "repository.maemo.org" part in its description. I guess I just copied the wrong link and name.

I'll file a bug about it
