[11:26] <schopin> When downgrading a Recommends to a Suggests, will the suggested package be removed on upgrades?
[11:32] <schopin> Do we have a way to mark a LP bug as something that needs Release Notes mention?
[12:30] <adrien> hey, is there anyone moderating ubuntu-devel-discuss@ ? it would be great to validate my mails :)   (I sent one and I'll send another one in a couple minutes)
[12:34] <adrien> (now :) )
[12:35] <adrien> also, would an @canonical.com mail address help? migrating away from gmail and switching back to @canonical.com once I have sieve set up is one of my new year's resolution
[12:42] <tsimonq2> schopin: Recommends to Suggests> Not explicitly removed, no. Might be marked for autoremoval. juliank would know for sure.
[12:43] <tsimonq2> schopin: I believe there is an LP project for Ubuntu release notes; let me double check that and grab you a linl.
[12:43] <tsimonq2> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes
[12:43] <tsimonq2> I've seen that used recently.
[12:44] <juliank> schopin: downgrades to Suggests are removed by ubuntu-release-upgrader; but not by the normal apt policy (u-r-u overrides the policy to not consider suggests important)
[12:44] <tsimonq2> adrien: You'd have to look at the list administrator page to see. ;) I would imagine @canonical.com would help
[12:44] <juliank> schopin: I picked this as a compromise, because suggested packages enhance software you have installed, hence you may have gotten used to them being around and removing them in the release would break your workflow
[12:45] <jbicha> juliank: is that the same behavior on Debian?
[12:45] <jbicha> (except for the lack of a release upgrader)
[12:46] <juliank> yeah, so Debian never gets suggests removed :D
[12:51] <schopin> juliank: tsimonq2: thanks for the info.
[17:41] <bdmurray> schopin: there is an ubuntu-release-notes project so you can add a bug task for that.
[17:42] <bdmurray> ah tsimonq2 mentioned it also
