| yurtesen | I have a question about package changelogs is here somebody who can answer it? my question is about the syntax difference betwee Debian and Ubuntu changelogs in imported packages. | 22:11 |
|---|---|---|
| tumbleweed | the syntax is the same | 22:12 |
| yurtesen | Please see the 8th message in this question for the difference: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomcat9/+question/700934 | 22:12 |
| yurtesen | But also simply you can open a changelog: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/universe/t/tomcat9/tomcat9_9.0.31-1ubuntu0.1/changelog and see the last 2 entries. The last one is an Ubuntu update after Debian import freeze. The 2nd last one is imported from Debian. | 22:14 |
| tumbleweed | these are different people doing the same work | 22:16 |
| tumbleweed | essentially duplicated work | 22:16 |
| tumbleweed | they formatted their changelogs differently | 22:16 |
| yurtesen | Yes, but Ubuntu SecurityTeam wiki at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/UpdatePreparation#Update_the_packaging in section 3 has a template. | 22:19 |
| yurtesen | The person who made the update to Ubuntu package apparently used that template. | 22:19 |
| yurtesen | My question is, is it a requirement to use that template? or can the changelog be inspired to be more like the original Debian changelog entries? | 22:19 |
| yurtesen | I am wondering this because I recently created a debdiff. It was importing some security patches from Debian. But I had to re-write the changelog entries to fit the Ubuntu template. It was quite time consuming. It would be nice to know if the "template" at wiki is just some example, or a hard rule to follow? | 22:27 |
| tumbleweed | that's a question for the security team | 22:57 |
| tumbleweed | but I'd assume that as long as you include all of the information that the ubuntu template has in it, and it's clear and understandable, that that would be acceptable | 22:57 |
