[09:17] <tapwag> Hello everyone. I am trying to package a web-application written in Perl for ubuntu called "sql ledger" which is a business application. Can anyone help me packaging the latest version?
[09:25] <sladen> tapwag: https://packages.debian.org/sid/web/sql-ledger
[09:26] <sladen> tapwag: already packaged
[09:26] <tapwag> sladen, Thanks. But this version is fairly old unfortunately. Latest version is 3.2.5
[09:27] <sladen> tapwag: that sounds much easier---just updating a package, instead of packaging from scratch!
[09:27] <tapwag> sladen, Unfortunately I have never done this before but I am willing to step up as a maintainer for this
[09:30] <sladen> tapwag: awesome
[09:32] <sladen> tapwag: there's two things to do.  First we need to find a bug report saying there is a new upstream version available;
[09:32] <sladen> tapwag: eg.  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=843941  is an example for another package
[09:32] <tapwag> sladen, Would I have to do the bug report with Debian or with ubuntu launchpad
[09:33] <sladen> tapwag: ideally we do it into  Debian unstable, because then it will automatically/semi-automatically be available for Ubuntu, and everything stays in sync
[09:33] <tapwag> Okay, let's do this..
[09:35] <sladen> tapwag: so perhaps that's three things   (1a) Debian bug "sql-ledger: New upstream version 3.2.5"  git URL etc to get the new version from  (1b) [~1 hour later when BTS has replied with a Debian bug number] Launchpad bug report for new upstream version, pointing to the Debian bug   (2) contact the existing maintainer, and see if they're still interested, or can eg. help sponsor your upload/guide you throught the process
[09:39] <tapwag> sladen, I have been looking at the documentation and Bug reporting guidelines for debian. Would I need to install debian to use the reportbug tool?
[09:39] <sladen> no
[09:40] <sladen> tapwag: email:     To: Debian Bugs <submit@bugs.debian.org>      Body text:
[09:40] <sladen> Package: release.debian.org
[09:40] <sladen> sorry
[09:40] <sladen> Severity: normal
[09:40] <sladen> Package: sql-ledger
[09:40] <sladen> Severity: normal
[09:40] <sladen> or wishlist
[09:42] <tapwag> sladen, Thanks for the info. Would I need to put in a specific subject line?
[09:43] <sladen> tapwag: doesn't matter;  but   "Subject: sql-ledger: New upstream version 3.2.5"
[10:07] <tapwag> sladen, Thanks for your help. Just sent off the report.
[10:08] <sladen> tapwag: excellent!
[10:08] <sladen> tapwag: Give Debbugs +/- an hour or so, and hopefully you'll get a reply with the assigned bug number, then we can tweak/work from that
[10:09] <tapwag> sladen, Will also try to get hold of the maintainer to see if he is still interested in repackaging.
[12:01] <sladen> https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=862953 is the bug that was filed
