Last night I dreamed that, badly needing an experimental upload of gnome-panel 2.10, I went ahead and prepared the update myself. Unfortunately I fucked up, and uploaded to unstable instead of experimental...

From that point, the dream became a nightmare and I have a few memories of first rushing to write a .commands file for the upload queue, but even if I knew the syntax by heart, I kept typoing over and over. I guess I missed the small window to fix things up, because next thing I remember is going to Ganneff and elmo and asking them to remove the package from incoming, heh.

The next thing was fixing the fuckage. Leaving the package in was not possible because it depended on gnome-menus which is in experimental, plus it has a new shlib for libpanel-applet, so it would block other packages from migrating to testing. If I remember correctly, there were two options: doing a hackish version like 2.10.1.is.really.2.8.2-1 (some people will remember procmail at this point ;) or, *shudder*, add an epoch to the library... the last thing I remember is me fighting Duck and seb128 to accept the ugly version upload, with no luck...

I knew already that I don't like epochs... but to the point of violently waking up and finding out, to my relief, that this had not happened at all?
