> Did it build the older version of gdb before you applied your patch? I didn't, but I believe it would have gotten much the same result. Looking at the publishing history, I found version "6" as an example: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdb-arm-none-eabi/6. So, when I look at what binary packages it produced, they are actually called "gdb- arm-none-eabi 7.8-0ubuntu1+6" (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/wily/+package/gdb-arm-none-eabi).
Like I mentioned above, I believe this package picks up the first part of the version number from the gdb package when building. It is unfortunately not clear to me exactly how this happens. Furthermore, I'm somewhat worried that in doing so, my tiny little patch has actually pulled in a ton of other changes when it actually built and the version number was tweaked. >It looks like the version in the new changelog entry should probably be `2` instead of having an ubuntu prefix, since the prefix is already built into the version number. Well, the extra "ubuntu" wasn't there when I wrote it. :P In more seriousness, I'm quite sure what the appropriate version number here is. Appending ubuntuX is customary when adding a patch in Ubuntu, though I also considered .1 (I'll explain that one more below). I can't really use 2, because that version exists upstream. If you look at the changelog at http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/gdb-arm- none-eabi.git/log/, one of the lines is tagged debian/1. Above it is two (or three, if you include the changelog entry) commits, which are then tagged as debian/2. This means that version 2 exists and it contains of those two patches since version 1. Since I've only taken one of the patches I can't call it version 2 without being confusing and probably misleading since people would also expect the other patch to be present if they read this changelog. So in reality, it's simply version 1 "plus some extra stuff", which is why I also considered version 1.1 to indicate it has slightly more than version 1, but it isn't a straight import of a newer version. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1267680 Title: package gdb-arm-none-eabi (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/gdb.1.gz', which is also in package gdb 7.6.50.20131218-0ubuntu1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdb/+bug/1267680/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
