Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: [email protected] Usertags: unblock
This is an unblock request for a package I've not yet uploaded, since I wanted to get your guidance on how you'd prefer to get this update. On March 15th, the Duo API is changing to require pagination be used for a couple of the API calls implemented by libnet-duo-perl. I want to get the fix for that into the next stable release, since it otherwise breaks part of the module. (Bug is #924127.) There's a new upstream release (1.02) that fixes this as the only code changes (which also requires a fair bit of work on the test suite), but also includes various documentation changes. I've prepared a regular packaging of that new upstream release, including such things as bumping the debhelper compat level and the standards version. However, I know we're pretty late in the release cycle. Would you rather that I: * Upload 1.02-1 to unstable and have you unblock that for propagation to testing as a regular package update? This is a leaf package, so I'm pretty confident that this should be safe, but it has extraneous changes compared to only fixing this bug. * Upload 1.02-1 to experimental and prepare a more limited update for unstable that only backports the relevant upstream change? This will still require changes to the test suite, so it's not a super-tiny change, and will still include all the code changes in 1.02-1 (just not the documentation and packaging changes). If you have no strong preference, I'd prefer the first since it's simpler, but I wanted to ask before uploading the package to unstable so that I didn't lock unstable into the new upstream version and packaging. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
