** Description changed: [Impact] This release sports both bug-fixes and new features and we would like to make sure all of our Ubuntu developers have access to these improvements. [Test Case] The following development and SRU process was followed: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevToolsUpdates autopkgtests will be run for ubuntu-dev-tools as part of the SRU. The following changes affect how ubuntu-dev-tools interfaces with other packages: - after version 0.191, ubuntu-dev-tools has migrated to using argparse instead of optparse in its python programs. To confirm compatibility with argparse in earlier versions of python, on each release earlier than lunar, run the commands 'backportpackage', 'bitesize', 'check-mir', 'grep-merges', 'pull-debian-debdiff', 'requestbackport', 'requestsync', 'seeded-in-ubuntu', 'sponsor-patch', 'submittodebian', 'syncpackage', 'ubuntu-build', 'ubuntu-iso', 'ubuntu-upload-permission', and 'update-maintainer' with the '--help' option and confirm sensible output. - sponsor-patch has changed to use dpkg-source --skip-patches instead of dpkg-source --no-preparation. Both options exist in dpkg since version 1.14.18 so this is not a compatibility concern. - after version 0.189, ubuntu-build has added a 'from launchpadlib.credentials import TokenAuthorizationException' import. This is present in python3-launchpadlib 1.10.13-1 in focal so is not a compatibility concern. The 'ubuntu-build --help' check above is sufficient to ensure the import succeeds. [Where problems could occur] - <TODO document any risks, as with any SRU> + After version 0.176, several commands have been dropped from ubuntu-dev-tools: ubuntu-archive-assistant, reverse-build-depends, hugdaylist, pull-revu-source. Any users of ubuntu-dev-tools on focal will find these tools no longer available. Of these tools, three are strictly only of use for Ubuntu developers (archive-assistant, hugdaylist, pull-revu-source) and two of those are no longer useful at all because they refer to an obsolete project or service. The fourth tool, reverse-build-depends, was deprecated in favor of reverse-depends -b prior to the focal release, so anyone still using this command will be able to trivially adapt their usage to the current tool.
