[07:04] <dholbach> good morning
[09:29] <mchro> I'm the maintainer of a piece of software (referencer) for which the current 14.04 packaged version (1.2.1) is pretty much unusable due to lp bug #1267786. Version 1.2.2 is already released and in Debian (and utopic). How do I get it into trusty as well?
[09:35] <Laney> mchro: If you have a minimal fix for just this problem we'd usually prefer to take just that
[09:35] <Laney> The type of update is called a Stable Release Update: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates
[09:42] <mchro> Laney: I can prepare a minimal diff (it's basically r924+r925 from http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~referencer-devs/referencer/trunk/changes), but the change is basically a rewrite of a subsystem i.e. not very small. The other changes from 1.2.1 to 1.2.2 are much less intrusive.
[09:43] <mchro> I will read the wiki page to try to understand the process.
[12:01] <Laney> debfx: got some time for backports?
[12:08] <debfx> Laney: I'm at work right now
[12:08] <Laney> debfx: In general, doesn't have to be right now
[12:09] <Zhenech> work and backports are mix-able ;)
[12:09] <Laney> debfx: I want a second opinion on sudo (bug #1331656) and wxwidgets3.0 (bug #1333428)
[12:10]  * debfx backports Zhenech
[12:10] <Zhenech> ey!
[12:12] <debfx> Laney: sure, I'll have a look at them later
[12:12] <Laney> thanks
[12:12] <Laney> sudo has too many rdeps to be testable but I'd like a way to do the backports in these cases
[16:31] <debfx> Laney: for sudo it would be more interesting to test different kinds of configuration
[16:31] <Laney> I figured that testing a few rdeps would do something like this
[16:31] <Laney> but feel free to ask for what you want to see
[16:35] <debfx> I'm more skeptical about wxwidgets. in general backporting whole gui toolkits sounds very invasive.
