As a backporter *and* a Developer, I have some major concerns about this request.
(1) This has no developer backing. One of the major things about a Backport is it needs a developer or sponsor willing to push this through. I don't see any tied to this request. (2) This request does **not** have any prepared packaging. Part of the requirements for backports is that packaging is prepared that *functions as expected* for upload to the target release. There isn't, which should imply that the package works as is, however, (3) The package requested fails to build from source and is NOT able to be built on requested target OS. There is no 'fixed' packaging or debdiff available to 'fix' this problem here. The Backports team is **NOT** responsible for making sure the packages requested build properly on the target OS. It is up to the requestor and the developer/sponsor who is helping with this process to handle. You note in your request that the package "would need modification". Until a functional package diff is provided by either you or a developer, this backport request does NOT meet the requirements for backports. The Backports team is not responsible for modifying the package to function, that's a requirement for the requestor - refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports#Responsibilities_of_the_Backporter for what responsibilities you have as the requestor of a backport. I am marking this as "Incomplete" against Jammy until the requirements are met so the request is suitable for the Backporters team to review. ** Changed in: plastimatch (Ubuntu Jammy) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Backporters, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2030675 Title: [BPO] plastimatch/1.9.4+dfsg.1-2 for jammy (22.04LTS) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plastimatch/+bug/2030675/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-backports mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-backports
