Thanks Mattia for your reply. In fact, the onboard package came into existence "many" years ago to have a working onscreen keyboard in Ubuntu and came to debian only years later. Ubuntu being the main target of the package, we used to create a release shortly before feature freeze in Ubuntu and submit it for sponsorship as I did this time.
I noticed that the onboard package in zesty had switched to the version available in debian, but I assumed that it happened because the version number in debian was higher than the version number from the package inherited from yakkety. But I seem to have been wrong about the switch to the debian package being due to the version number. Thus, I will start looking at how to submit the new package to debian. By the way, thanks for the link about how to submit bugs to debian. The package I am going to submit to debian will however have the patch with the Ubuntu defaults settings removed; but I suppose that you will port the Ubuntu defaults patch from the current package to the new package when doing the sync with debian... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1664746 Title: Request for sponsorship for new upstream release (zesty deb provided) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/onboard/+bug/1664746/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
