[maemo-developers] extras-devel -> extras-testing auto-promotion not working?

[From: Anderson Lizardo]

Hi,

A long time ago I was informed by Niels on this list that packages
dependencies (i.e. not user application or packages under user/*
categories) would be automatically promoted from extras-devel to
extras-testing (and to extras FWIW) if an application that depends on
it is promoted.

Well, it *used* to work like that some time ago, but in the last weeks
I've noticed that no newer versions of PyMaemo packages (which are all
dependencies from various user/* application) got promoted as before.

I don't know if it has been a manual operation of if the autopromotion
system is actually broken.

There has been some kind of pressure to get the optified Python
packages into extras, and that depends on this "auto promotion"
mechanism.

Can someone with powers check that? I can open a bug report if necessary.

Thanks,
