Eagerly waiting for answer about that. Yes, this post is a kind of bump - I think, that it shouldn't be ignored. Also, at least brief explanation why X-Fade wasn't contactable *again* would be appropriate.

I've spoken with Pali a few times on IRC, he missed me a few times as he pinged me in the evening/night. I tend to be mostly online during central European business hours.
I can't recollect seeing any PMs or emails for that matter from freemangordon.
Haven't been reading the forums that much, just because of the sheer volume of messages/signal to noise ratio. Bootstrapping apps.formeego.org and harmattan related stuff took a lot of my time.

EDIT:
An ugly and nasty, but working hack, will be to add a code that checks for that particular package name and deal with it accordingly.

I tried this now in the importer. It imported the package now, but I can't guarantee that it won't get stuck somewhere else. Let's see if that is the case
I now special cased the 50 version, so it works for the current version. The hack would need to be updated next time though.

And who exactly do you cite in the the context of the repository problems? Will you point to a single statement made by me that classify into the above category or could be considered as insulting, so I got the prise of being put into the X-Fade's ignorelist. Or it is because we don't know each-other's first names and I wasn't here in the glorious days when maemo.org was established, summits were held, etc., so I could be easily ignored as some kind of interloper? Come on, lets name the things with their true names.

So far everything looks OK(but lets Pali confirm), thanks. Anyway, I will ask for the code of the offending function again, so we can check if there is some kind of a workaround for the problem. I mean - is it possible to change the version for the next kernel-power in such a way so it won't trigger the bug.

Anyway. back to the QA thing.. So what would be the preferred way of cleaning the queue and making sure it doesn't get stuck so easily again? Automated promotions doesn't seem to be the answer but what about the other way around I proposed a bit earlier that if the the maintainer doesn't promote the package into extras within a month after the promotion is unlocked the package is automatically removed from testing?

Why would you remove the app from testing? If the app has passed the quarantine, has enough proper votes (both from Testers and Users) why won't you promote it?
If you do that, you won't have waiting applications in Testing but in Devel.
Last time I cleaned out the repo and database as far as I could, but it seems there is still a something lingering. This all started because the package maintainer changed numbering scheme a few times, triggering a really hard to find issue in version number comparison. I easily spent more than 2 days fixing all kind of related issues, but there is still a problem.
I've told Pali a year ago that he could fix the issue himself by just changing the name of the package. This way he didn't need to wait for any fixes, but he decided against that.
There is still a problem in the packages interface with this package and it is almost impossible for me to find and fix the bug. There is only one package in the whole repo affected by this, I feel we should not waste any more time on this and just cut our losses. Rename the package and be done with it. The time wasted on this can be better spent somewhere else.
