i'd like to upload a new version of arandr to stable.
arandr versions before 0.1.7.1, as described in bug #718366
(originally
#507521), completely fail to work with some combinations of x servers
(which are present in wheezy), graphics cards and output devices.
The metadata of that bug indicates that it also affects the newer
version of arandr. If that's not correct, please fix it.
the changes between 0.1.6-1 and 0.1.7.1-1 affect +94-24 lines of
python
code, that's practically the minimal patch -- i could squeeze out a
line
or two where just comments are modified, no more.
[...]
given the delta on the program itself is already as good as minimal,
and
given that 0.1.7.1-1 has been used in unstable for half a year without
additional bugs, i'd like to ask the release team for its opinion on
uploading an unmodified 0.1.7.1-1 (as in `dch -D stable -v
0.1.7.1-1+deb7u1 -m "Unmodified upload to stable"`). a debdiff from
wheezy to jessie is attached.
That sounds like it would probably be fine, but a defdiff of the
proposed package would be appreciated for confirmation. In the context
of package updates, when we refer to a debdiff we usually mean one of
the _source_ packages, not the resulting binar(y|ies), to indicate the
actual changes to the uploaded package which result from the rebuild.
The version number would need to be 0.1.7.1-1~deb7u1; otherwise it
would
be higher than the version in testing/unstable.
Regards,
Adam
