[Pkg-electronics-devel] Hint regarding Blends metapackages

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

as long as packages can be removed due to RC bugs your metapackages
might need to be changed to be correct about the packages inside the
package pool.  Thus it might be needed to update the metapackages while
beeing in deep freeze.  This is usually accepted by the release team.
However, it reduces friction if this upload has an as small as possible
diff to what was uploaded before the freeze.  Thus I'd recommend to
regenerate the metapackages reflecting the current state of the package
pool (in case there is some diff to the existing metapackages).  This
ensures release masters stay happy and you do not need to explain a lot
to them. ;-)

Hope this hint helps

       Andreas.
