Utkarsh asked for a rundown of which subset of these packages appear to be bugfix-only (thus mergeable without FFe). Here's my take:
## Potential Sync? ## The ubuntu delta for these packages is now in Debian or upstream, and looks like we may be able to sync the package now. > cyrus-sasl2 2.1.27+dfsg-2.1 > 2.1.27+dfsg-2ubuntu1 > php-pear 1:1.10.12+submodules+notgz+20210212-1 > 1:1.10.9+submodules+notgz-1.1ubuntu1 > screen 4.8.0-6 > 4.8.0-5build2 > kronosnet 1.20-4 1.20-2 > > w3m 0.5.3+git20210102-6 > 0.5.3+git20210102-3build1 ## Bugfix-only ## These updates have targeted bugfixes and do not appear to be introducing new features or behavior changes. So these look workable: > open-iscsi 2.1.3-2 > 2.1.3-1ubuntu4 > autofs 5.1.7-1 > 5.1.6-4ubuntu1 > bridge-utils 1.7-1 > 1.6-5ubuntu1 > openvpn 2.5.1-1 > 2.5.0-1ubuntu1 > sssd 2.4.1-2 > 2.4.0-1ubuntu5 (Note that you should still analyze to doublecheck there are no features or behavior changes; if there are, you may want to either just cherrypick out the bugfix patches, or prepare a FeatureFreeze exception.) ## Larger Updates ## These packages might be ok to include, but they include a lot of changes (either upstream or in Debian) and/or feature/behavior changes, so probably worth accompanying with a FFe (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess). > crmsh 4.2.1-1 > 4.2.0-4ubuntu1 > freeipmi 1.6.6-3 > 1.6.4-3ubuntu2 > php7.4 7.4.15-5+deb11u1 > 7.4.11-1ubuntu3 ## Experimental ## These are updated in Debian experimental, and some are introducing new upstream releases or pre-releases, so may be higher risk for inclusion. Unless we have specific needs, these probably should be deferred to next cycle. > tmux 3.2~rc3-1 3.1c-1 > > containerd 1.5.0~beta2~ds1-1 1.4.3-0ubuntu1 > > haproxy 2.3.5-1 2.2.9-1build1 > > php-defaults 80~exp1 76ubuntu1 > > pkg-php-tools 1.41 1.40 > > python-django 2:3.2~beta1-1 2:2.2.19-1 > > spamassassin 4.0.0~0.0svn1886510-1 3.4.5~pre1-3 > ## Later ## These look like modest updates, cleanups, and other non-bugfix updates. Or may be simply pulling in Ubuntu's delta into Debian. Also, some of these can be time consuming or tricky to merge, or tend to be handled by other teams in Canonical. So while these may be low risk, they're also lower in value and higher in effort, so may be less worth working on unless there are specific demands for them: > apache2 2.4.46-4 > 2.4.46-2ubuntu1 > samba 2:4.13.4+dfsg-1 > 2:4.13.3+dfsg-1ubuntu2 > sosreport 4.0-2 > 4.0-1ubuntu9 > chrony 4.0-6 > 4.0-5ubuntu2 > corosync 3.1.0-3 > 3.1.0-2ubuntu1 > libvirt 7.0.0-3 > 7.0.0-2ubuntu1 > mysql-defaults 1.0.7 > 1.0.5ubuntu2 > rsync 3.2.3-4 > 3.2.3-3ubuntu1 > runc 1.0.0~rc93+ds1-2 > 1.0.0~rc92-0ubuntu1 > squid 4.13-5 > 4.13-1ubuntu2 > subunit 1.4.0-3 > 1.4.0-0ubuntu1 ## No-Change ## These are just rebuilds on Debian's side. > checksecurity 2.0.16+nmu2 > 2.0.16+nmu1ubuntu1 > kerberos-configs 2.6+nmu1 2.6ubuntu1 > Bryce -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
