mish: I've gone ahead and sponsored this for upload, with a few changes. So you know for future reference:
- If a package was changed in Ubuntu (as opposed to Debian), the format of the version number is <upstream_version>-<debian_revision>ubuntu<ubuntu_revision>. If we're not taking the package from Debian (which we're not here, because they don't have this version), the second half should look like -0ubuntu1 or -0ubuntu2 or whatever. I changed the version number in this case to 0.0.20061216-0ubuntu1. - It's helpful for sponsors if there's a patch attached to the bug. For upgrades like this, just attaching the .diff.gz like you did is fine, but it shouldn't have the ~ppa1 extension for PPA uploads. It's also helpful if you can put a direct link to the new .orig.tar.gz in the bug itself. - Since you originally posted your .diff.gz, there was an upload to Karmic (version 0.0.20050615-2.1ubuntu1) to fix bug #452282. If you're trying to attract attention to an old bug, it's very helpful if your diff is based off of the release currently in the archives. - Even if you don't need to rebase the .diff.gz on top of the current release, it makes the sponsor's life just a little bit easier if you can upload a new .diff.gz with a changelog entry referring to the current development release, instead of an old one. - When making changes in Ubuntu, you should be sure to update the Maintainer/XSBC-Original-Maintainer fields if necessary (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/FAQ#What%20does%20XSBC- Original-Maintainer%20mean?) - Your package included changes to debian/dirs and debian/docs. The former isn't necessary as it's created by the upstream makefile, and the latter isn't necessary as dh_installchangelogs is called with CHANGES as an argument in the rules file. - I had to fix a fairly long list of build errors. -- Please update mypasswordsafe to 0.0.20061216 version https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221893 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
