we went into Alpha Change deadline freeze on Aug 14th. Since Alpha has slipped we have continued to be in freeze.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Change_deadlines

Only packages that fix alpha blockers or Nice to have bugs are pushed to stable.

Sorry for the extended freeze, but thats the way things go. ;(

Replying to [ticket:5317 jussilehtola]:

I submitted votca-csg-1.2.1-5.fc18 (a trivial rebuild triggered by the unannounced Boost upgrade in the F18 tree) as an update on Aug 15.

The package has been on the stable queue since Aug 23 - almost two weeks ago. I count at least four pushes into f18 since then. Could you have a look at the issue?

Same here with python-visual...

It's sad, that fixing broken dependencies doesn't fall into a blocker or nice to have bug category, when the packages aren't on a live cd or aren't a critical path package.
