Hi, > Here is my strategy for dealing with the bad uploads of 0.8.2 & > 0.9.0-beta. Then again it is 'unstable' we are talking about... :-) > I have filed a bug http://bugs.debian.org/379441 against ftp.debian.org > requesting removal of 0.9 from unstable. I'm closing that bug, since what you are asking for is not ever done on the archive, sorry. > Failing that an upload of an epoc > version 1:0.8.2 would be last resort as epoc's "are forever", say if there > isn't any joy from ftp-master in the next week. When (if) frp-master does > remove 0.9 we can then upload an incremented 0.8.2 without epoc. Epoch are ugly, so I can suggest that you upload to unstable: - digikam_0.9-really.0.8.2-1.changes, containing: digikam_0.9-really.0.8.2.orig.tar.gz, which is a copy of digikam_0.8.2.orig.tar.gz digikam_0.9-really.0.8.2-1.dsc digikam_0.9-really.0.8.2-1.diff.gz (You want 0.9-really.0.8, _NOT_ 0.9.really.0.8.) When 0.9, upload it as "0.9.0-1" (_NOT_ "0.9-1"): % dpkg --compare-versions 0.9-beta1-1 lt 0.9-really.0.8.2-1 && echo ok ok % dpkg --compare-versions 0.9-really.0.8.2-1 lt 0.9.0-1 && echo ok ok % dpkg --compare-versions 0.9-really.0.8.2-1 lt 0.9-1 || echo not-ok not-ok I'm availabe on irc as "dato" if you have any doubts about the above. > As for svn, the top level README does have some guidance, but I am aware > that you weren't totally convinced last time. This is up to you. Having trunk/ always be the latest version is a good alternative, indeed.
