1) build in jessie 2) test in jessie 3) send current maintainer debdiff and a note that you plan to upload it to backports but you're right 3) is not valid... http://backports.debian.org/Contribute/ contains: | Inform the Maintainer | | It is a good idea to contact the maintainer of the package in Debian | prior to your upload to let them know or even share ideas and common | pitfalls (like special dependencies)" is "only" in "Best Practice" section. I was mislead by the backports.debian.org domain change (s/net/org/) few years ago. I will close all bugs reported against packages with bpo in version. (yay! I'm RC-bug free again!) I chose 1 (one!) package¹ and it FTBFS so you failed to do 1) and I'm guessing you didn't do 2) as well (how could you test a package that doesn't build?) > > (I want too see debdiff and have enough time to check it > > None of the packages listed include any difference from Sid, they are > just rebuilt with my key without change. I'm very good at guessing and I guessed that you did exactly that! I don't blame you that much, it's not possible to check 150 packages correctly. You're doing a good job with openstack anyway given the amount of work for one person. I just expect more from MY packages (and it doesn't matter much if they're in Ubuntu or in backports where I'm not officially maintaining them) Anyway, I documented what you need to change in order to do backport in the changelog and hope your will fix it before uploading. > Ok.
