arif-aliHi folks, got an interesting versioning question. sosreport (which I am maintaining) will be released on Monday, which I will be popping across to debian. sos has a SRU exception. I will be SRU'ing this version, now do I backport this version and wipe all the previous changelogs; or just bring in .orig,X and do minimal updates to the debian folder from a prior ubuntu revision or we bring the whole thing with minimal changes?17:28
sudipadrien: are you available to do a quick autopkgtest fix for esys-particle please... same problem with the slots17:34
adriensudip: in two hours (preferably, ping me again, even if in 10 seconds :) )18:02
sudipdont worry adrien, I made the change now based on your change in adios2. tested locally and worked.18:24
jbichaarif-ali: both methods can be acceptable. I prefer making minimal debian/ changes and perhaps the SRU team might prefer that too19:48
jbichaSome changes are better than others. For instance, autopkgtest improvements are encouraged but switching to a new debhelper compat level is probably not ok19:49
arif-alijbicha: thanks, I like the idea of minimal changes on top of a previous ubuntu release, I guess in that case it will not be based on the Debian package, hence we would have -0 instead of -1 before ubuntu19:52
