| ScottL | micahg, i am presuming that at some point i will need to add "Conflicts: ..." into the new ubuntustudio packages to keep from pulling in some of the older and now unused packages | 02:00 |
|---|---|---|
| ScottL | for example, ubuntustudio-theme will no longer be needed, or ubuntustudio-menu, or ubuntustudio-icon-theme, etc | 02:01 |
| micahg | right, conflicts unless you're using transitional packages (which might help for LTS -> LTS upgrades if you support them or upgrades in general) | 02:09 |
| micahg | if you're using transitional packages, you'll want a versioned breaks/replaces when you switch to the transitional package | 02:09 |
| ScottL | by the way, i will be using your suggestion about including nautilus and thunar together for the time being | 02:44 |
| ScottL | i'm not sure i am get my head around how to do the transitional package correctly right now | 02:45 |
| ScottL | i'm not a fan of upgrades in general, especially for LTS -> LTS as they alway seems problematic | 02:51 |
| ScottL | however, that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to accommodate them | 02:52 |
| ScottL | micahg, i am familiar with transitional packages, i did one for transitioning from audio seed to audio-common, audio-generation, and audio-recording | 02:53 |
| ScottL | but i would appreciate a quick overview on what i might need to do | 02:53 |
| ScottL | i would presume that i need to make updates for the current packages that will no longer be needed, but make them depend on the new packages | 02:53 |
| ScottL | which will be a little weird as something like six packages are resolved into two packages now and i'm not exactly sure how that will be structured | 02:54 |
| ScottL | i'm also going to be a little unsure about the versioned breaks/replaces at this point | 02:55 |
| ScottL | let me finish mapping the changes as they are now and then i should have a better feeling about this | 02:55 |
| micahg | ScottL: the transitional packages are just binary entries in debian/control in the source that's taking over | 02:55 |
| ScottL | micahg, but is it using the same binary name as the old, deprecated binaries? | 02:57 |
| micahg | yes, that's how it's transitional | 02:58 |
| ScottL | right | 02:58 |
| ScottL | but with a newer version | 02:58 |
| micahg | well, versions usually come from the source package | 02:58 |
| ScottL | oh, yeah | 03:43 |
| ScottL | but won't this be kinda weird? some of the current packages aren't aligned with version numbers | 03:43 |
| ScottL | i know that one of the currently used packages is at something like version 40, but the rest are at versions like 0.20 | 03:44 |
| ScottL | when i do my final mapping of packages and functions i'll include version numbers too | 03:44 |
| micahg | ScottL: in that case, Conflicts/Replaces might be fine, let's see what the various upgrade paths are, then we can decide | 04:03 |
