I believe you were interested before in getting the Debian and Ubuntu
packaging for git in sync so that Ubuntu would automatically sync the
latest stable git release (at least until the Debian Import Freeze
deadline).

Please see my commits at
https://salsa.debian.org/jbicha/git/merge_requests/1 which should make
this possible.

If we're lucky, maybe Ubuntu will promote pcre2 to main this cycle,
but it's probably best not to assume that will happen.

Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha

Did you see https://bugs.debian.org/911997 ?

Hi Jeremy,

No, I didn't.  I wonder if there was a mail delivery outage from the BTS
or something.

Hooray, thank you!  I'll take a look when I get in to work tomorrow
morning.

Is there a way to distinguish between Ubuntu main builds and builds of
the PPA https://launchpad.net/~git-core/+archive/ubuntu/ppa?

If not, then that's fine and Anders may be able to just override this
line, but I thought I should ask.

Sincerely,
Jonathan

Are you subscribed to https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/git ? The BTS
itself only directly emails the listed Maintainer and not Uploaders.
Anyone else can use Tracker to subscribe to bug mail.

I am unaware of an official method for a package to identify that it's
being built in a PPA.

If it's really important, maybe you could grep for the ppa in the
/etc/apt/ directory.

Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha

Hi, I thought you might have forgotten about this bug and proposed
patch since it hasn't been included in your recent Debian releases for
git.

Jonathan,

Ubuntu has accepted pcre2 in to main so the Ubuntu diff is now a
single line. Please apply this patch to your git tree. And I guess you
can drop the pcre3 alternate Build-Depends too.

By the way, there are several other Debian bugs tagged 'patch' for git
so please review those when you have time.

Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha

I’ve gone ahead and uploaded these changes. Since I don’t have access to the repository on repo.or.cz, I’ve pushed my commits to https://salsa.debian.org/andersk-guest/git debian-sid. Jonathan, you can mirror these to repo.or.cz at your convenience, or we can take this opportunity to set up a shared repository on salsa.

Never mind, it looks like I wasn’t added to the Debian upload ACL, so my upload was rejected.

Hello,

Sorry to jump into this discussion but it looks like the "git" package
in Ubuntu is still different from the one in Debian.

It looks like everything is/was ready but it was not applied for some
reasons.

Is there anything blocking to apply this diff from Ubuntu? Is there
something I can do to help?

Cheers,
Matt

PS: oops, it looks like I accidentally sent the previous draft of this
message, pressing "Send" instead of "Save", sorry for that... The week
is starting well... :)
