Changing name of source package
hi, I just want to double check that changing the name of a source package can be done as I anticipate it. I would like to change the name of the source package php4-ps into php-ps. php4-ps creates two binary packages php4-ps and php5-ps. The new source package php-ps will only create php5-ps because php4 will be dropped anyway in the near future. >From what I have read so far, it should be sufficient to upload the new source package which takes over the binary package php5-ps. Is it required to wait for a new upstream version or can I simply push up the debian version from 1.3.5-1 to 1.3.5-2?

As long as the versions of the binary packages are higher than the ones already in the archive you should be safe I guess. Since you change the name of the source package the upstream version doesn't really matter since the orig.tar.gz's will named differently either way...

The only other thing you need to worry about is filing a bug report against ftp.debian.org to get the old php4-ps source package removed, since this won't happen automatically. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.

Removals by ftpmaster (whether of binaries, source, or both) normally happen against unstable only. The removal then propagates to testing, which means that the *next* stable release won't have them.

When no suite references the package any longer, it is deleted, and _that_ part happens automatically. -- Magnus Holmgren[EMAIL PROTECTED] (No Cc of list mail needed, thanks) signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
