Good thing that my postfix still > works :) Thank you, and oh good :) While technically it would be ok to upload directly (0 day), because we've given the maintainer a lot of time to react to this bug, I've chosen to upload to delayed=2.

Right, the upload to the delayed queue using dput is something else, and any uploads you make to ftp-master will not succeed. I'm not sure if mentors.debian.net has a delayed queue, and I can't see how that would be useful--other than for practise. Did you find the relevant section in the Developer's Reference? Before we get to the upload you need to submit an nmudiff of the source package. On a related note, if you don't know about these yet, "msmtp-mta" and "apt-file" are really useful. Msmtp-mta is an alternative to other MTAs (useful for laptops, and Spwhitton told me about apt-file :) It's technically possible to use debdiff, but "nmudiff" is a tool like "reportbug", but I'm not sure if nmudiff will function without an mta, unlike reportbug.

I've moved this discussion from debian-emacsen to the relevant bug. Please remove debian-emacsen from CC and add me to CC for all follow-ups.

PTAL, thanks! >> >> [1] https://salsa.debian.org/debian/silversearcher-ag/-/merge_requests/1 > > Friendly ping. haha @enable_pcre2_support.patch:L478 Thanks for adding some copyright info; this will cover a "patches applied" view, but doesn't cover the "patches unapplied" source package (orig.tar, debian.tar, dsc). If you manually evaluate the rules in d/copyright you'll see that this patch becomes misattributed to the debian/* holder, which gets even more confusing since you set yourself as the patch author ;) Yes, I understand you synthesised commits, and I'm fine with that, but please finish fixing up d/copyright. changelog: Please enclose "Closes: #62" in parentheses in order to follow the style that is already in use by this package's maintainer; it's technically still Majime Mizuno's package, after all. Then finalise the changelog and build the package. Finally, learn about what an "nmudiff" is, and file one at the relevant bug. Thanks, Nicholas signature.asc Description: PGP signature
