When an Ubuntu delta exists, you can adjust Vcs-* in debian/control to point to the correct place on Salsa to help other Ubuntu developers find the correct VCS. Note that Ubuntu developers may upload (to Ubuntu) without updating the VCS first. This is rather like an NMU in Debian, but more common. For example, in Ubuntu uploads needed for library transitions are generally driven from the library provider end, rather than the library consumer end, and so uploads relating to a transition may just "appear" in the archive. If this happens, you'll need to pull in those uploads to your VCS, as the archive remains the single source of truth. However, if you're available and developers know to talk to you, they'll try to avoid stepping on your toes as much as possible by communicating first. > If I > understand you correctly, creating a team on LP would be enough to > "claim" ownership of these packages, though not enough to force others > to use salsa before uploading to Ubuntu. Right. There's no ownership claim as such; just an understanding that your team is volunteering to generally look after the packages, and others will try to work with you on that. > I'll go ahead and create a team on LP as that seems to be a step in the > right direction.

I suggest you announce your intentions to ubuntu-devel@ and ubuntu-motu@, together with details on how to contact your team (perhaps nominate ubuntu-motu@ for now, and subscribe). In fact, we're quite far off topic on this bug now. I suggest we switch to talking on ubuntu-motu@ instead. I'll Cc: that list now, and switch the bug to Bcc:, to move this conversation over there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1822069 Title: SRU: Shibboleth SPv3 for bionic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/log4shib/+bug/1822069/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
