Hi release-team! I have a bit complicated idea for a buster-pu: ceph. Buster shipped with 12.2.11 and last April upstream released 12.2.12 as bugfix release. As usual with ceph, the diff is *huge*, but it is a bugfix-only release. So here are a few facts: - upstream changes: https://ceph.io/releases/v12-2-12-luminous-released/ - proposed diff: https://salsa.debian.org/ceph-team/ceph/compare/luminous%2Funstable...debian%2Fbuster - I've basically imported the changes the Ubuntu people have done in Ubuntu together with 12.2.12. So I assume this should work well, I did not yet test it properly as I want to wait for a reply from you. I'll prepare a backport of 14.2.x as soon as it migrates to testing anyway. - The issue with ceph is that upstream doesn't do QA for 32bit and our selection of unusual architectures. I don't know if it builds on all buildds without trying... - 12.2.X is already EOL at ceph upstream.... I just took over the maintenance of ceph, so... everything is late. Things should be better for bullseye. - The packaging is not yet as close to the upstream packaging as I'd like to have it. Upstream's packaging is very well tested and supported, we should stick to that as far as possible. For bullseye we'll have the same question: Big updates from upstream as their pointrelease. Target will probably be 15.2.X (Octopus), which is not yet released, but I hope it will be before bullseye will go into freeze. So... whats your opinion on that?
