Public bug reported: Hi folks
Late in the karmic cycle, we introduced a new spin called Ubuntu Moblin Remix. It's Moblin 2 and GNOME based mostly and is made of a bunch of new packages but also carries various types of patches to some Ubuntu packages or some complete temporary forks such as evolution-data-server- dbus. This effort was started in the jaunty cycle in various PPAs, and was moved to a karmic PPA in the karmic cycle; we're currently building cdimage daily live ISOs from the ~moblin PPA and karmic. This sucks for various reasons and we'd like to move as much stuff as possible into karmic. This bug is a request to allow the new packages in the moblin remix spin into Ubuntu karmic, in universe. A list of packages is documented in: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Specs/MobileKarmicMoblinRemix#Implementation (some packages have been pushed to Debian some time ago, but we can't block on Debian's NEW for karmic) We would also like to merge as many changes done to Ubuntu packages into karmic proper, but this is more disruptive as e.g. some patches touch the UI etc, so we will track this separately. We will probably merge clear fixes directly, and try to get the other changes via upstream into Ubuntu when these are in a GNOME module for instance. We wont push any intrusive or UI changes from the UMR patches into karmic and will ask for separate FFEs where appropriate, unless you wish to allow for a standing FFE to ease the review burden. As this touches both main and universe, I think it makes more sense to see this on a case by case basis.
