--- Begin Message ---Package: general Severity: wishlist For those who care about Debian derivatives: A derivative may be deployed as an overlay rather than a full archive. Modifications from the derivative live together with originals from Debian, but modifications must have a higher version. Full archives use this approach to increase the version: 1-1 → 1-1foo1 This does not work with overlays because of binNMUs: 1-1+b1 > 1-1foo1 1-1+b1 > 1-1foo1+b1 A binNMU may be unnecessary in the derivative. Also, these versions are disruptive: 1-1+b1foo1 1-1+b1foo1+b1 Thus, overlays should use this approach: 1-1 → 1-1.0foo1 However, regular uploads to stable and oldstable distributions may use the same signalization ("+") as binNMUs, so: 1-1+deb1u1 < 1-1.0foo1 Therefore, please use a higher version for these uploads, such as: 1-1 → 1-1.0+deb1u1

If you disagree with the maintainer closing a bug which affects their package, the correct procedure is to discuss the issue with the maintainer respectfully, and attempt to come to a resolution, potentially by preparing patches or otherwise doing the work. Continuing to play bts ping-pong by reopening bugs will result in me (on behalf of [email protected]) removing your ability to modify bugs. -- Don Armstrong https://www.donarmstrong.com Those who begin coercive elimination of dissent soon find themselves exterminating dissenters.
