| okay19 | Once a bug has been fixed on a local branch, should I attach a patch to the bug in Launchpad or submit a merge proposal to the original package? | 22:27 |
|---|---|---|
| tarpman | okay19: either works. whether one is better than the other probably depends on what the maintainer of that package prefers | 22:28 |
| tarpman | okay19: out of curiosity, which package are we taking about? | 22:28 |
| okay19 | tarpman: apt, specifically bug 1309658 | 22:29 |
| ubot5` | bug 1309658 in apt (Ubuntu) "apt.conf man page should indicate # is also used for comments" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1309658 | 22:29 |
| okay19 | Also, should merge proposals contain a patch file or modify the source directly? | 22:47 |
| tarpman | okay19: that also depends on the package ;) in the case of your specific bug, I'd suggest attaching your patch to the bug: it looks to me like it's more likely to be integrated into apt upstream directly than to be carried as an ubuntu-specific change | 22:50 |
| tarpman | okay19: as far as a merge proposal, https://code.launchpad.net/apt/+activereviews has a couple of existing ones you could use as examples | 22:51 |
