[23:11] <ScottE> I could use some help in getting a package fixed for bionic, referring to launchpad #1755615 - the version of the PCP package in bionic (4.0.0-1) is currently seriously broken in that the package's daemons don't start. I submitted a patch to the upstream repo. That fix went into PCP 4.0.1 and is in debian sid (as 4.0.1-1). This is a universe package with no ubuntu specific changes. How can I help get the
[23:11] <ScottE> new version into bionic?
[23:12] <ScottE> It seems likely nobody else has discovered this, since the current bionic version is broken (artful has an older version that doesn't suffer from the same bug).
[23:16] <persia> ScottE: You'd need to have someone with upload permissions to universe sync it from Debian.
[23:18] <ScottE> OK, thanks persia - I wasn't sure exactly how it worked for this case (where there is no patch). Is this the right place, then, or should I ask in #ubuntu-release?
[23:18] <persia> I *think* this is the right place, but I admit to not being familiar with current best practices.
[23:19] <persia> There may also be a way to set the bug title just so, add the right comment, and subscribe the right team to get someone to look at it.
[23:19] <persia> (search the wiki for sync)
[23:19] <persia> It may be late enough in the cycle that some freeze exception documentation is necessary, but I also can't guide you on that.  Apologies for my limited utility in this matter.
[23:19] <ScottE> Fair enough, thanks! I did a cursory look through the wiki, but let me look specifically around that keyword.
[23:20] <ScottE> Yeah, no worries - I know it's late in the cycle. Thanks, I do appreciate your reply, and no apology necessary!
[23:20] <persia> For people with the right permission, it's a button on LP.  The rest of us need to request it in the right way (and asking on this channel is usually a good way to get instructions how to do it)
[23:20] <persia> Good luck!
[23:20] <ScottE> Thank you!
[23:41] <tsimonq2> ScottE: I'll take care of it, on the condition that I'm sponsoring it for you. ;)
[23:43] <ScottE> Hi tsimonq2! Thanks, I do appreciate that sponsorship. I just updated the launchpad bug attempting to follow the process for sync plus freeze exception.
[23:45] <ScottE> That was fast - I see it in the queue per #ubuntu-release
[23:45] <tsimonq2> Yep. :)
[23:46] <ScottE> Thank you again, I really appreciate it
[23:50] <tsimonq2> No problem. :)
