owsla, I appreciate the need for protocol changes, and appreciate that the unstable version is meant to be a moving target. The problem as I see it is that Ubuntu does not package the stable version of rdiff- backup, and that the unstable versions are not explicitly packaged with protocol versions in the package names. I probably should have chosen a more Ubuntu-specific subject for this bug, but space is short.
William, I think that it is a good idea to have an rdiff-backup-1.1.5 in gutsy, and that would give me a chance to start adjusting dependencies in my internal systems to prefer that package in advance of release. It would be best if we had rdiff-backup-1.1.12 and rdiff-backup-1.0.5 (or just '1.0' if that's where protocol compatability lives in the stable version number scheme) as well, and pointed to the appropriate ones with "rdiff-backup-stable" and a transitional "rdiff-backup" package. -- minorest revision number change breaks network protocol https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/128242 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
