[16:41] <mitya57> Hi! Importer from Debian experimental doesn't seem to be working. Probably because codename was changed from experimental to rc-buggy.
[16:42] <mitya57> I couldn't find any public announcement for that change, but see e.g. https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?p=770271.
[16:49] <cjwatson> mitya57: Is there any reason to believe this isn't a mistake on the Debian side?  It's somewhat disruptive, after all (breaks existing debmirror configurations, causes users to need to acknowledge the codename change, ...)
[16:51] <mitya57> cjwatson: https://bugs.debian.org/704124 (and two merged bugs) was closed recently by Joerg Jaspert, who is a FTP master. So probably it was an intentional change.

[17:59] <cjwatson> mitya57: I guess.  Could you file a bug and we'll see if we can figure out how best to deal with it?  I want to avoid ending up having to rename the series in LP.
[17:59] <mitya57> Bug against Launchpad, right?
[18:11] <cjwatson> mitya57: Yeah, that'll do
[18:11] <cjwatson> (Strictly speaking the relevant code is only currently a loose script on the relevant server rather than actually committed anywhere, but I'm working on that separately ...)

[18:15] <cjwatson> Might just be a matter of adding the --allow-dist-rename option to debmirror, but I'll need to test that
[18:15] <cjwatson> Thanks
[18:21] <mitya57> Sorry for bothering you on Sunday.
[18:24] <cjwatson> I'm not going to actually work on it today anyway (it'd require sysadmins who probably aren't around for non-emergencies)
