[16:02] <King_InuYasha> hey, is there anyone here who can help me figure out how to request the rpm package to be sync'd from sid to bionic?
[16:10] <ginggs> King_InuYasha: man requestsync
[16:11] <King_InuYasha> ginggs: does that work for people who aren't ubuntu developers?
[16:15] <tarzeau> rpm?
[16:16] <tarzeau> ubuntu bionic is frozen, you need to request an exception, it's documented somewhere: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseSchedule
[16:17] <tarzeau> King_InuYasha: works for anyone who can read, understand and follow instructions.
[16:17]  * tarzeau wonders which package that is to be wanted sync'd
[16:44] <King_InuYasha> tarzeau: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rpm/+bug/1756566
[16:44] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 1756566 in rpm (Ubuntu) "FFe: Sync rpm 4.14.1+dfsg1-2 (universe) from Debian sid (main)" [Undecided,New]
[20:39] <Unit193> I think requestsync is in ubuntu-dev-tools which is in Debian, though doubt anyone would want to for a one off. :P
[20:41] <King_InuYasha> Unit193: I spun an Ubuntu container for this, blech
[20:41] <King_InuYasha> that was a lot of crap for one tool
[20:45] <Unit193> King_InuYasha: Heh, and I thought installing a package might be a bit much for such a feat. :P
[20:45] <King_InuYasha> Unit193: my machine runs Fedora
[20:46] <King_InuYasha> and we don't have ubuntu-dev-tools in the distribution
[20:46] <King_InuYasha> so I spun an nspawn container of bionic for this...
[20:46] <Unit193> Right, of course not.
[23:52] <rbasak> King_InuYasha: all the tool does is file a bug with the appropriate information. You can just file a bug by hand following the same pattern as some other sync request if you prefer. Bit late now I suppose.
[23:53] <rbasak> (also I suspect that ~ubuntu-sponsors automatially gets subscribed to the bug; you'd need to do that by hand as well)
[23:59] <juliank> it's also documented in the wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SyncRequestProcess
