Bug#647079: whatsnewfm: New name and URL for freshmeat.net (parser broken)
The unstable package has been fixed and an updated package has just been submitted for stable. > And I just released, that I now have two versions calles 0.7.2-1 -- > the first fixed version for unstable and the new minimal fix for > stable. Should I change it to something like 0.7.2-1stable? > Or is this handled by the distribution field? I ended up changing the stable version number to 0.7.2-0+squeeze1 but the git repo now reflects this (and I've corrected the tags in there too). > I did not even change the package description, so it still says > "freshmeat.net", is that ok? The release managers suggested that we fix that as well, so I've renamed the URL in the package description too. Cheers, Francois signature.asc Description: Digital signature

On the squeeze branch, I took the old squeeze package and simply updated the upstream package. I did not even change the package description, so it still says "freshmeat.net", is that ok? And I just released, that I now have two versions calles 0.7.2-1 -- the first fixed version for unstable and the new minimal fix for stable. Should I change it to something like 0.7.2-1stable? Or is this handled by the distribution field? If you give the OK, I will build the packages, sign them and post the URLs here. > Then I believe you need to let debian-release know about the package so that > they can approve it http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/ before it gets > uploaded to a different queue.

I'm happy to sponsor this upload, but I think you might want to fix a few minor things first: 1- in the package description, there is a typo in the new URL: freecode.net -> freecode.com 2- Standards-Version should now be 3.9.2 3- you could make the urgency medium to speed up the wheezy transition I would have submitted a pull request for these, but I don't think you have a public packaging repo :) > What has to be done to get this update into stable (or volatile)? > Currently the package is completely unusuable, waiting > for the next stable release is not really an option. For stable (and/or squeze-updates, which is the new name for volatile), what you'd need I think is a package where the only change is the new upstream version (no other changes to the packaging). Then I believe you need to let debian-release know about the package so that they can approve it http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/ before it gets uploaded to a different queue. If you prepare the package, I can take care of this part if you like. Cheers, Francois -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

A new upstream version of whatsnewfm has been released: http://www.cgarbs.de/whatsnewfm.en.html Inofficial Debian packages are available from my repository: http://www.cgarbs.de/stuff/deb-repository.html#whatsnewfm deb http://www.cgarbs.de/stuff ./ deb-src http://www.cgarbs.de/stuff ./ Official Debian packages are prepared for uploading: (these links time out in 30 days): http://www.cgarbs.de/tmp/whatsnewfm_0.7.2-1_all.deb http://www.cgarbs.de/tmp/whatsnewfm_0.7.2-1.diff.gz http://www.cgarbs.de/tmp/whatsnewfm_0.7.2-1.dsc http://www.cgarbs.de/tmp/whatsnewfm_0.7.2.orig.tar.gz http://www.cgarbs.de/tmp/whatsnewfm_0.7.2-1_i386.build http://www.cgarbs.de/tmp/whatsnewfm_0.7.2-1_i386.changes http://www.cgarbs.de/tmp/whatsnewfm_0.7.2-1_source.changes Now I'm looking for somebody to sponsor my upload. What has to be done to get this update into stable (or volatile)? Currently the package is completely unusuable, waiting for the next stable release is not really an option.

Package: whatsnewfm Version: 0.7.1-1 Severity: grave Tags: patch Justification: renders package unusable Freshmeat.net is now known as freecode.com which breaks the parser (it's looking for freshmeat.net URLs in the newsletter). A patch to fix this is available here: https://github.com/mmitch/whatsnewfm/pull/1 Cheers, Francois -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
