[05:16] 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] Debian bug 958452 in src:socat "Please package 1.7.3.4 as 1.7.3.3 breaks epoptes" [Normal,Fixed] [05:17] 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? [05:18] * alkisg tries to be more clear: asking for focal to get a new socat version, instead of pinpointing a patch [05:19] Given that it's not in any .iso, could someone just syncpackage it, even now after release? [05:26] * alkisg reported that as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/socat/+bug/1875129 [05:26] Launchpad bug 1875129 in socat (Ubuntu) "Socat 1.7.3.3 in focal has regression, please sync with sid" [Undecided,New] [05:49] alkisg: SRUs are perfectly fine pre-Gorgeous opening. [05:50] 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. [05:52] (There are already a bunch of Focal SRUs, from the time between release freeze and release) [05:53] 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] It's only there in sid [05:53] Should I wait for it to sync first, then start the SRU? [05:53] Nah, you can start the SRU. [05:53] OK, ty [05:54] 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] 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] If it hasn't autosynced by then. [05:55] alkisg: If it's *really* a bug-fix-only release, SRUs are fine. [05:55] I think so. Ty, inserting the [SRU] stanzas in the bug report... [05:56] You don't necessarily need to pick just the patches that fix the bugs you've particularly hit. [06:10] Done, I think :) [15:11] tomreyn: done [17:34] thanks for the notice. [21:03] mapreri: btw, Debian did package cairo 1.15 once important enough stuff started depending on it [21:04] I don't trust my memory, but I think that important stuff was color emoji ️‼️ [22:10] Ah, so entirely useless stuff. I see. [22:23] Unit193: the 20th century Man [22:25] Yes, teenagers seem unable to articulate well enough to express themselves in understanable ways. :P [22:52] Unit193: I use the occasional :-) or <3 [22:53] and there is a cup of coffee emoji I like, but for that one does not need color [23:31] 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] right [23:32] I have my fonts rather small in irc so when people use emoji, they are usually too small for me to "get" them anyway
