tags 866736 - moreinfo Hi Gianfranco,
okey dokey, first time trying to fix something in stable :) sounds like a bit different from launchpads SRU process. I've uploaded a new version with a target of unstable. Sorry - I didnt really understand about filing a bug against release.debian.org targeting "p-u" - I had a look here but didnt see an example https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting So I use two line fields "package: budgie-desktop" and "version: 10.2.9-2" in the sub...@bugs.debian.org email what is the fields for filing against release.debian.org and a target of "p-u" ? thanks David On 1 July 2017 at 15:44, Gianfranco Costamagna <locutusofb...@debian.org> wrote: > control: owner -1 ! > control: tags -1 moreinfo >> I am looking for a sponsor for my package "budgie-desktop" > > > here we are >>the target is for stretch to fix the bug #866730 marked as Important >>Tested that this builds via pbuilder-dist > > > this is nonsense. > You need to target unstable, and let the fix go into Buster > in the meanwhile, after fixing sid, if you want the fix to go > in the next Stretch point release, you have to open > a bug against release.debian.org, targeted "p-u", upload > a fix to mentors targeted stretch after you get an ack from > release team, versioned 10.2.9-2+deb9u1, and then > ask again for sponsorship. > > fixing bugs into stretch, with bad versioning, and a broken unstable > is not the way to go. > > please remove moreinfo once you have something to sponsor :) > > thanks! > > Gianfranco
