[08:19] <dholbach> good morning
[08:43] <ngaio> Good morning! The Debian package of my program is out of date - what is the procedure to ask a MOTU to ensure Universe has an up to date version?
[08:47] <geser> which package is it?
[08:47] <Noskcaj> ngaio, what package?
[08:48] <Noskcaj> dammit
[08:48] <Noskcaj> lol
[09:08] <Sonderblade> suppose you want to create an ubuntu package of an upstream source package, is it then enough to add the debian/ directory to your bzr on launchpad or do you need to clone all the upstream source code?
[09:09] <ngaio> geser, Rapid Photo Downloader http://git.kirya.net/?p=debian/rapid-photo-downloader.git;a=summary
[09:10] <ngaio> version in Universe is 0.4.7 http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/graphics/rapid-photo-downloader
[09:11] <ngaio> most recent version is 0.4.10
[09:15] <geser> ngaio: I see that Debian hasn't this new version yet either, so best to contact the Debian maintainer about it and once it's in Debian we could try to sync it (if it's not too late by then)
[09:17] <ngaio> thanks geser. If the Debian maintainer cannot update it for some reason (he seems exceptionally busy), is there another option?
[09:20] <geser> ngaio: you could try to update the package yourself (if you don't find someone to do it) (but we can help you when you have questions) and get it sponsored directly into Ubuntu (and you could also offer it to the Debian maintainer)
[09:21] <geser> but be aware that we are part Feature Freeze (no new upstream versions) and you would need an exception to get it in
[09:21] <geser> !ffe
[09:25] <ngaio> Thanks! I was aware of the feature freeze and I pushed out a critical bug fix in January, but unfortunately the Debian maintainer has not yet had the time to update the package. I'll see what he and I can do.
[09:27] <geser> you can start from the existing package and if you are lucky just need to point it to the new upstream tarball (and add a changelog entry)
[09:28] <ngaio> Yes it should be fairly simple like that. I'm heading to office now and I'll be back online later - thanks once again.
[11:07] <Rhonda> Laney: is it intentional that xnox is listed below NOTB in the poll?
[11:07] <Laney> the order is randomised
[11:07] <Laney> for each ballot
[11:07] <Rhonda> I found that slightly amusing. :)
[11:07] <Laney> but that sounds about right to me ;-)
[11:07] <Rhonda> heh
[11:07]  * Laney snuggles xnox 
[11:08] <xnox> i bet i'll come, one below threshold again.
[11:08] <Rhonda> Well, for me too.  After all he got me killed for something totally unrelated.  *frowns*
[11:08] <Rhonda> Shows his professional behavior.  >.>
