I'm ok taking this change going forward even if not accepted upstream as it isn't a functional but a packaging decision at this point. I tagged the bug to pull it in on the next cycles merges at whatever stage it is. Nevertheless we should continue the upstream discussion. I reviewed and acked on salsa and I also pinged mjt, just in case he has missed the MR. On the qemu-trivial list I saw that Michael asked you to resend to qemu-devel as it isn't "exactly trivial and it needs some review from the developers". And on that resend thread Daniel denied the patch as-is in: https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-09/msg07966.html I think once you continue to drive that to a resolution this will get upstream merged eventually and can be applied from there. But I'd have two more things you won't like that much since the bug has SRU-tasks: 1. The "time wasted" argument is hard and I know from other cases how that feels, but the answer should be that one should never try to build a package locally out of the dir anyway (and it isn't a problem for sbuild, launchpad-builders, ...). 2. Due to #1 and for forcing millions of downloads to qemu users not having a change I'm tempted to say that we should not consider SRUing it IMHO. Maybe we can bundle it with another upload that we'd need to do anyway. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1887535 Title: build operates differently if source is a git repo To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/1887535/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
