To make this easier to read, I took out the queuebot lines and other stuff not connected to our upload:
slangasek> santa_, acheronuk: why do most of these kubuntu uploads appear not to share history with the Debian KDE packages, despite having later versions? I thought Kubuntu worked closely with the Debian KDE maintainers <slangasek> bsanta_, acheronuk: random example: kf5-messagelib in Debian unstable has some Breaks/Replaces not present in the Ubuntu version just uploaded <slangasek> and there are symbols file differences that look suspiciously like you'll have build failures on some archs that have already been fixed in Debian <slangasek> santa_, acheronuk: (analitza) you should really never need to bump the minimum version of symbols in symbols files, and it makes it rather difficult to sanity-check the diff for accidentally dropped symbols <slangasek> santa_: is it really correct that audiocd-kio 16.04.3 has no changes from 15.12.3? <valorie> slangasek: "why do most of these kubuntu uploads appear not to share history with the Debian KDE packages, despite having later versions? I thought Kubuntu worked closely with the Debian KDE maintainers" -- we used to share packaging on their git <valorie> but they never used our packaging, and their git had so many timeouts that we moved it back to LP git <valorie> we do merge whenever possible <slangasek> valorie: well, codehosting in lp is one thing; but I'm seeing a lot of these packages that clearly haven't merged packaging from what's currently in Debian unstable <valorie> slangasek: probably we packaged them weeks ago <valorie> I hope we'll solve that problem soon <valorie> we're doing too much extra work <slangasek> valorie: and then, curiously, there are packages such as libkdeedu which Debian has removed as 'obsolete', but are in the queue now with new upstream versions (?) <valorie> slangasek: I will pass this along to our packagers <valorie> and we'll get it cleaned up ASAP <slangasek> valorie: cheers <valorie> thank you for the useful feedback -- http://about.me/valoriez -- kubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-devel
