My opinion is that merging instead of rebasing messes up the history and makes it rather unclear what the differences in this branch are. So I would suggest the following: Delete the branch, create a branch "wip-gstreamer" from security-updates (not master!), try to build a few packages; after security-updates has been applied to master, rebase wip-gstreamer and have it built by hydra. Right now, the priority clearly is to finish security-updates, and we cannot afford to build a second branch in parallel. Are these four updates independent? Should they all be built together, or should we do them one by one? Only 19 packages depend on ao, only 29 on libvpx, so these could be done separately. Could they even go to master, or do they depend on gstreamer (or pulseaudio) being updated first? pulseaudio has 162 dependent packages, so even these could maybe be built separately (where by "separately" I mean in a different evaluation). What do you think? Andreas
