Yes well, I did the package as commits in the original Debian packaging CVS module, so naturally the Ubuntu changes are “on top”. I have no idea what a branch merge proposal is. You should really accomodate the random Debian Developer who happens to care about his packages and even tries to watch Launchpad bugs related to it better, not force some magic ways they do not know on them. Please find attached a debdiff against the current Debian version of the package and do with that whatever you must.
And of course it could be sponsored. The Ubuntu diff per sé only exists because build profiles are not there yet, and the build dependency is an optional one. So normally you’d do a sync from Debian on each of my uploads to it, which all are made from that CVS module. Although I do agree that dpkg-source randomly reordering chunks when using single-debian-patch is annoying and introduces lots of noise in that patch. I will file a bugreport against dpkg in Debian for that. The relevant CVS commits are the following two; I’ve attached diffs for them too; the first one adds the Ubuntu change, the second one fixes this problem report. I can make a “cleaned up” debdiff, too, by manually editing it, I guess… Commit ID: 10050676B433400B7BD CVSROOT: /cvs Module name: contrib Changes by: [email protected] 2012/09/29 21:42:12 UTC Modified files: hosted/tg/deb/mksh/debian: changelog control Log message: merge: mksh (40.9.20120630-1ubuntu1) quantal; urgency=low ________________________________________________________________________ Commit ID: 10050676F947E588244 CVSROOT: /cvs Module name: contrib Changes by: [email protected] 2012/09/29 22:00:33 UTC Modified files: hosted/tg/deb/mksh: Build.sh hosted/tg/deb/mksh/debian: changelog meat Added files: hosted/tg/deb/mksh/debian: rtchecks Log message: move some compile-time checks to run-time (LP#1058035) ** Patch added: "mksh_40.9.20120630-3ubuntu1.debdiff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mksh/+bug/1058035/+attachment/3356923/+files/mksh_40.9.20120630-3ubuntu1.debdiff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1058035 Title: mksh ftbfs in quantal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mksh/+bug/1058035/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
