| alkisg | Hi, the socat 1.7.3.3-2 in focal has a regression that breaks another package called "epoptes". I asked debian to package the new 1.7.3.4 bug fixing version in sid, and they just did: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=958452 | 05:16 |
|---|---|---|
| ubottu | Debian bug 958452 in src:socat "Please package 1.7.3.4 as 1.7.3.3 breaks epoptes" [Normal,Fixed] | 05:16 |
| alkisg | How can I ask for focal to get that new version? It's hard to pinpoint the exact part that causes the regression, but it's a bug fixing "microupdate", can I just ask for an SRU even if ubuntu+1 hasn't started yet? | 05:17 |
| * alkisg tries to be more clear: asking for focal to get a new socat version, instead of pinpointing a patch | 05:18 | |
| alkisg | Given that it's not in any .iso, could someone just syncpackage it, even now after release? | 05:19 |
| * alkisg reported that as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/socat/+bug/1875129 | 05:26 | |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1875129 in socat (Ubuntu) "Socat 1.7.3.3 in focal has regression, please sync with sid" [Undecided,New] | 05:26 |
| RAOF | alkisg: SRUs are perfectly fine pre-Gorgeous opening. | 05:49 |
| RAOF | You can't quite just syncpackage (you need the actual SRU tracking bug in the changelog, among other things), but there's no reason not to start the SRU process right now. | 05:50 |
| RAOF | (There are already a bunch of Focal SRUs, from the time between release freeze and release) | 05:52 |
| alkisg | RAOF: but doesn't SRU mean that "it's already fixed in the current development release"? Gorgeous doesn't have the new socat yet | 05:53 |
| alkisg | It's only there in sid | 05:53 |
| alkisg | Should I wait for it to sync first, then start the SRU? | 05:53 |
| RAOF | Nah, you can start the SRU. | 05:53 |
| alkisg | OK, ty | 05:53 |
| RAOF | At this time of the release cycle we can copy the package out of focal-proposed into gorgeous when we release the SRU. | 05:54 |
| alkisg | RAOF: to be clear, this is an SRU for a "microrelease", not for a "patch backport", as I haven't pinpointed the exact lines, is that OK? | 05:54 |
| RAOF | If it hasn't autosynced by then. | 05:54 |
| RAOF | alkisg: If it's *really* a bug-fix-only release, SRUs are fine. | 05:55 |
| alkisg | I think so. Ty, inserting the [SRU] stanzas in the bug report... | 05:55 |
| RAOF | You don't necessarily need to pick just the patches that fix the bugs you've particularly hit. | 05:56 |
| alkisg | Done, I think :) | 06:10 |
| cjwatson | tomreyn: done | 15:11 |
| tomreyn | thanks for the notice. | 17:34 |
| jbicha | mapreri: btw, Debian did package cairo 1.15 once important enough stuff started depending on it | 21:03 |
| jbicha | I don't trust my memory, but I think that important stuff was color emoji ️‼️ | 21:04 |
| Unit193 | Ah, so entirely useless stuff. I see. | 22:10 |
| valorie | Unit193: the 20th century Man | 22:23 |
| Unit193 | Yes, teenagers seem unable to articulate well enough to express themselves in understanable ways. :P | 22:25 |
| valorie | Unit193: I use the occasional :-) or <3 | 22:52 |
| valorie | and there is a cup of coffee emoji I like, but for that one does not need color | 22:53 |
| Unit193 | valorie: Indeed, though as my mother used to say "A little bit goes a long way." Also I believe the word for those is 'emoticon'. | 23:31 |
| valorie | right | 23:31 |
| valorie | I have my fonts rather small in irc so when people use emoji, they are usually too small for me to "get" them anyway | 23:32 |
