Jeremy, I created a new debianisation for zesty. It is based on the debianisation of Onboard 1.3.0-1ubuntu1 currently in the main Ubuntu repo and gave it version number 1.4.1-0ubuntu1 so that it can be overwritten by 1.4.1-1ubuntu1 when synching from debian.
I tried to follow your suggestions above and also looked at your debianisation of 1.4.1 for debian experimental: - The debian/changelog only has entries concerning the debian folder and the bugs that have to be closed. - I copied your onboard-common.install file moving some files to the doc directory. However, I removed the asterisk from from line 14, because we have to distinguish between the onboard-defaults.conf.example example file that can be moved to the doc directory and the onboard-defaults.conf file, which is not a doc file, when it is present. (onboard-defaults.conf is not present by default.) - I removed the patch that installs the onboard-defaults.conf file. - I used my updated copyright file Feel free to use and change it the way you like. Hoping to have been helpful. -- 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
