Hello Scott!
>I'm not the maintainer, just an interest maintainer of a reverse dependency. thanks for your caring (help and feedbacks are appreciated a lot!) :) >First, all the home page changes are inappropriate for an NMU. I would >recommend you file a separate, normal priority, bug about those issues. well, since I spent almost a day trying to understand where upstream did take the patches (because haskell builds with the embedded haskell-yaml package), I prefer to make sure nobody else looses his time :) (I also bothered upstream to change the repo location from the wiki BTW) >Second, have you checked if this breaks anything else? right now, reverse-deps testsuites are not affected by this upload autopkgtest for appstream/0.10.6-2: amd64: Pass, armhf: Pass, i386: Pass, ppc64el: Pass, s390x: Pass autopkgtest for choreonoid/1.5.0+dfsg-0.1build2: amd64: Always failed, i386: Always failed, ppc64el: Always failed, s390x: Always failed autopkgtest for haskell-yesod-bin/1.4.18.7-3: amd64: Always failed, armhf: Test in progress (always failed), i386: Always failed, ppc64el: Always failed, s390x: Always failed autopkgtest for nplan/0.24: amd64: Pass, armhf: Pass, i386: Test in progress, ppc64el: Test in progress, s390x: Pass autopkgtest for pyyaml/3.12-1build1: amd64: Pass, armhf: Pass, i386: Pass, ppc64el: Pass, s390x: Pass autopkgtest for ruby2.3/2.3.3-1ubuntu1: amd64: Test in progress (always failed), armhf: Test in progress, i386: Always failed, ppc64el: Always failed, s390x: Pass autopkgtest for suricata/3.2-2ubuntu2: amd64: Pass, armhf: Pass, i386: Pass, ppc64el: Pass, s390x: Pass >* appstream >* appstream-glib >* choreonoid >* dvbstreamer >* erlang-p1-yaml >* flvmeta >* haskell-yaml >* hhvm >* hkl >* liblouis >* limba >* lua-yaml >* nutcracker >* php-yaml >* pyyaml >* r-cran-yaml >* ruby2.3 >* suricata >* tarantool >* uwsgi >* v-sim >* vboot-utils >I'm particularly concerned you don't break pyyaml (since I maintain that >one). Before NMUing, I think you should make sure you aren't trading one >broken package for another. actually the fix has been originally intended to unbreak the python binding of yaml (some of them has a testsuite broken, maybe not pyyaml, or maybe not right now, but some python binding should be broken without this patch, aswell as the haskell one) I did a test rebuild in a ppa (most of the versions are in sync with Debian), and I didn't get any build failures. https://launchpad.net/~costamagnagianfranco/+archive/ubuntu/costamagnagianfranco-ppa/+packages so, I can say that we should be good with this one, at least if reverse-dependencies testsuites are good enough :p thanks!
