Agreed, but the rebase happened a lot earlier in our git repo. Sure, one could have created a new branch for just the new freeze-exception package, but given that there is only a single code change (r4044), it'd be too confusing to have a branched history afterwards: http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-multimedia/jackd2.git;a=shortlog All changes since 1.9.5dfsg-19 are worth to be included, and almost nothing (except r4044) has been changed upstream. If I diff between 1.9.5dfsg-19 and 1.9.6dfsg-1, I get the following result: $ mkdir /tmp/jackd2 ; cd /tmp/jackd2 $ apt-get source jackd2/testing jackd2/unstable $ diff -q -u -r jackd2-1.9.5~dfsg/ jackd2-1.9.6~dfsg/ | egrep -v "(osx|windows|patch)" Files jackd2-1.9.5~dfsg//ChangeLog and jackd2-1.9.6~dfsg//ChangeLog differ Files jackd2-1.9.5~dfsg//dbus/jackdbus.c and jackd2-1.9.6~dfsg//dbus/jackdbus.c differ Files jackd2-1.9.5~dfsg//debian/changelog and jackd2-1.9.6~dfsg//debian/changelog differ Files jackd2-1.9.5~dfsg//debian/control and jackd2-1.9.6~dfsg//debian/control differ Files jackd2-1.9.5~dfsg//debian/control.in and jackd2-1.9.6~dfsg//debian/control.in differ Files jackd2-1.9.5~dfsg//debian/copyright and jackd2-1.9.6~dfsg//debian/copyright differ Files jackd2-1.9.5~dfsg//debian/copyright_hints and jackd2-1.9.6~dfsg//debian/copyright_hints differ Files jackd2-1.9.5~dfsg//debian/rules and jackd2-1.9.6~dfsg//debian/rules differ Only in jackd2-1.9.6~dfsg/: .DS_Store Files jackd2-1.9.5~dfsg//example-clients/wscript and jackd2-1.9.6~dfsg//example-clients/wscript differ Files jackd2-1.9.5~dfsg//README and jackd2-1.9.6~dfsg//README differ Files jackd2-1.9.5~dfsg//svnversion.h and jackd2-1.9.6~dfsg//svnversion.h differ Obviously, the packages only differ in the debian/, the ChangeLog, jackdbus.c (r4044) and some other READMEs. There are also differences in the stripped out versions of some OSX- and Win32 libs, but that's not our business. Is there anything you particularly don't like about the new package that would prevent it from entering testing? Cheerio -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
