Hello release-team, I'm looking for a pre-approval for an unblock of my NMU of debos, which contains 3 commits cherry-picked from upstream. The main bug to fix is https://bugs.debian.org/1027787 The current version of debos in bookworm is not compatible with bookworm. The maintainer promised me to deal with this if I submitted an upstream PR where he merged my patch for it, but apparently never found the time to update the debian package. While at it I also cherry-picked 2 documentation fixes. I'm attaching a debdiff, but if you'd like to avoid reading patch-in-patch these are the commits: https://github.com/go-debos/debos/commit/18998ffaf78321e111d9823b3180eca3fa4593f6 https://github.com/go-debos/debos/commit/f4ff78305513a90eca089e33f7bba35bffa96bd1 https://github.com/go-debos/debos/commit/c8c5075853aab9e1ac6ae07a3a7c2b070aa38a62 unblock debos/1.1.1-2.1
Please go ahead Cheers
Hi Andreas, As the upstream maintainer, I can just tag a new version upstream as 1.1.2 & pick that in Debian. Then I hope it can flow into bookworm? The past few months have been... quite crazy in my personal life so I haven't gotten around to doing this as yet. Huge apologies for that, it is on my radar this week. Hope that is acceptable to you? Thanks, Chris
Hello Chris, I wonder if the release team will accept a new upstream release at this point in the freeze.... We're pretty deep into the hard freeze at this point (but I don't have enough insight into how the release team works these days, it seems much more relaxed than in the old times where I was more involved and basically any extra character would get you a NACK, specially an "unneccessary" upstream version number change). Do you have time to do all the work and still accept a potential NO from the release team? Please be honest to yourself. IMHO it feels much safer to just go with a targeted upload (which is now also already approved), but if you feel strongly about it and also think you have time to pursue a new release then just send me a NACK on the NMU (ASAP! I'm ready to upload *now*) and I will not pursue it. No need to apologize. We're all busy sometimes and that's why we have NMUs so we can help each other out. (I've also been quite busy or the NMU would have happened much sooner in the release cycle.) Thanks for all the work you have had time to do! Regards, Andreas Henriksson PS. Feel free to ignore my NMU and just upload the new upstream release once we're past the freeze/release and the development opens up again.
Hi Andreas, will upload the new version into unstable once development opens. How does that sound? PS: Can you push your source to salsa? Thanks! Chris
Hello, [...] Pushed to salsa (incl. tag)! dput new version, so should hopefully he accepted for unstable soon! Thanks for the quick followup! Regards, Andreas Henriksson
Hi, done. Paul
