| teward | sladen: what's the process for inclusion consideration for that though? | 00:06 |
|---|---|---|
| teward | same as any NEW package? | 00:06 |
| teward | (it's at least a few years out of date hence why there's the question, and it's a program that has no rdepends in Universe) | 00:06 |
| sladen | make the case that the improvements outweigh the extra effort | 00:10 |
| teward | is the process for beginning documented? such as debdiffs for upload, etc. and what the bug if any should say? | 00:11 |
| rbasak | teward: if it's already in Ubuntu but at a lower version, then it's just the usual upload process. No archive admin required. Anyone with upload rights on the package can sponsor it. | 03:21 |
| rbasak | teward: assuming I've understood you right. You want to update an existing package in Ubuntu to a new upstream release ahead of Debian? | 03:21 |
| rbasak | teward: it won't autosync after Debian do catch up however. It will require a sync request. | 03:22 |

| teward | rbasak: correct, your analysis is right | 13:16 |
| teward | rbasak: it already exists in Ubuntu but is 3 years out of date, upstream would love it bumped up for X-series 'cause bugfixes and such, but I've not seen the upstream's package code nor done a debdiff | 13:17 |
| teward | and since nobody here has upload rights it needs sponsoring | 13:17 |
| teward | (if I had upload rights that'd be a done-and-done situation xD) | 13:17 |
| rbasak | teward: it's fine to do it in Ubuntu then though it is a maintenance burden so I would consider how important it is for Ubuntu users. | 13:18 |
