Because python-tz is modified to use the information from tzdata (which is already at 2017a-1), we do not *have* to have the latest version of python-tz.
By sync-ing with Debian we gain build-time tests and some packaging improvements. Upstream don't maintain a changelog, but looking through the git log https://git.launchpad.net/pytz/log/ I did notice some bug fixes since the 2014.10 version: Prefer ASCII to US-ASCII for performance reasons (LP: #1523110) Correctly detect static timezones in the 2016f database (LP: #1602807) I have built and installed the package locally, it also builds in my PPA with -proposed enabled https://launchpad.net/~ginggs/+archive/ubuntu/testing/+sourcepub/7658807/+listing-archive-extra I haven't done any testing besides verifying that the build-time tests run successfully. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1676923 Title: FFe: Sync python-tz 2016.7-0.3 (main) from Debian unstable (main) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-tz/+bug/1676923/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
