Hi Jonathan, > - why is the changelog being merged with Debian's (or why it wasn't before?) > Seems cool but makes a big debdiff.
It's to keep the history of the package, and quickly know what happened to the package, without looking at launchpad. This is policy. > - Would this update make it to lucid (10.04.1)? It involves quite a lot of > bug fixes. For that to happen, you need to follow the SRU process, but in very rare cases, a full version is updated. For SRU, we prefer cherrypicking fixes. You also have the backport process, to be able to install the package in older version, but it won't appear as an update in that case. > - What about the remaining patches? Send Upstream? It's strange to have them > Ubuntu specific. right: all patches should be sent upstream (Debian or software developper), to see if they get adopted. In this case, I don't think that the one that begin with Ubuntu should be sent, except if Debian uses the same setting for keyring: it seems to be a config choice of Ubuntu. > - This update don't seem to close bugs (appart that one) but they are > numerous and some seem quite outdated. What is the attitude to adopt? Either close them in the changelog or close them by hand after the package get uploaded. Having them in the changelog would help people to know what is fixed in this upgrade. If some have been closed by previous Uuntu versions, it's better to close them by hand. So tell me which bug reports are closed by this release, and I'll update the changelog entry. > New debdiff attached (I hope it will be correctly handled by launchpad). This debdiff looks a lot better! :-) thanks!
