I'm fine with updating to the new upstream version, but I don't like backporting the whole package. There's quite a lot of packaging changes there, including:
* bumping the debhelper compat level to 7: This might expose bugs in earlier debhelper versions which we haven't encountered in oneiric * changing the init script quite radically: formally it breaks feature freeze; at the risk factor, the current postfix init script has never been in a stable release yet, so got comparatively little testing; IMHO it is too much risk to throw it at stable users as it changes expected behaviour and causes conffile prompts. * other changes like debian/copyright and the apport integration; these seem harmless, and I'd be willing to take them for an SRU. FYI, I won't ever agree to a blanket MRE that includes packaging changes. All other MREs that we have, like postgresql or firefox only cover updating the upstream bits, but keeping the packaging structure, scripts, conffiles, etc. unchanged. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/869411 Title: SRU tracking bug for postfix 2.8.2 -> 2.8.5 for natty To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/postfix/+bug/869411/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
