[08:02] <dholbach> good morning
[23:35] <teward> MOTUs!  Question: if Debian is super slow at providing an updated pacakge, is there a way to get Ubuntu to temporarily ship (such that it'd be superseded by Debian autosync) an updated version of the software while bypassing Debian?
[23:36] <teward> (because Debian developer sponsorship is slow as sin compared to here)
[23:36] <Unit193> Unless you're trying to touch something core, then sponsorship/review could take releases apart.
[23:40] <teward> Unit193: makes total sense, actually, but given that there's been no movement in Debian on this (according to the upstream maintainer themselves) :/
[23:40] <teward> it's been sitting for sponsoring in Debian for... oo a better part of a year
[23:40] <sladen> teward: that why Ubuntu packages are  -0ubuntuN, it means they are lower numbered that Debian's -1 of the same package
[23:40] <teward> my question is the review/sponsorship process / timeline
[23:41] <teward> less so the version numbering :P
[23:41] <teward> is it processed like a NEW package being added to Universe?
[23:41] <teward> s/NEW/'new'/
