Hi, Thanks to Adam, Julien, Jonathan, Matthias, Scott, Simon and many others, we are ready to migrate the bulk of the GCC-5 transition and related sub-transitions to testing tonight. Apologise for the short notice. We expect this to be *mostly* a smooth ride, but there are some caveats: * We will have to remove some packages from testing temporarily * A total of 36 (amd64) / 31 (i386) binary packages will become uninstallable in testing. We kindly ask of your patience while the temporary breakage is being resolved. The situation will improve over the next couple of days as we can easier focus on the remaining issues. If your package got removed, it will re-enter testing as soon as it is eligible again. Please ensure your package has no RC bugs, can build on all architectures (were it built previously) and it should be back shortly. Once again, apologies for the short notice. Thanks, ~Niels
