Re: quick question regarding rabbitmq-server 3.8 EOL and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Hi Josh, The Ubuntu Security team endeavours to support the various packages in each Ubuntu release for the lifetime of the Ubuntu release itself, regardless of corresponding upstream project's release / support cycles. In this case, even though upstream RabbitMQ will be ending support for rabbitmq 3.8 on 31 July 2022, the Ubuntu Security team will then instead look to backport patches from the upstream 3.9 (or 3.10 etc) releases to the 3.8.2 release as shipped in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS as required.

The debdiff (*not* just the .diff.gz - they aren't the same thing) is normally sufficient, although some reviewers may find it convenient to have a complete source package to download and perhaps sign/upload. If the fix involves a new upstream version then you should submit the full source package. It isn't generally necessary to submit binaries unless a reviewer specifically asks for them, and they wouldn't be used anyway, although of course you should have test-built your fix and confirmed that it actually works. -- Colin Watson (he/him) [cjwat...@ubuntu.com] -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
Quick Question
Quick question: if I create a new package to resolve a 'needs-packaging' bug, should I put my name in the maintainer field of the control file, or 'Ubuntu Developers'? Also, when patching/upgrading a package (to resolve a bug) should I submit all the files (source package, resulting binary, etc.), or just the debdiff/diff.gz?
