Transition from oldpackagename to newpackagename
Howdy mentors, When making a new release of a source package that renames one of its binary packages, at http://wiki.debian.org/Renaming_a_Package> it is asserted “most package managers (including AFAIK apt) do not know to replace the old with the new one”. Is that still true of APT? Or does APT now know that a new package should be installed if it: Provides: oldname Replaces: oldname (<< fooversion) Conflicts: oldname (<< fooversion) In other words: is the dummy transitional binary package still needed to transition an existing binary package to a new name, or can we now expect package managers to figure it out from the metadata? -- \ “[Entrenched media corporations will] maintain the status quo, | `\ or die trying.

I also tried the same in an up to date unstable chroot on a third computer. Everything with the same result. The problem is that I'm simply unable to move forward and backward in the patch set because neither starting from an unpatched source nore from a patched source seems to work any more. As I said this is the case with any package I tested and I neither can believe what I see nor do I have the slightest idea what change might have caused this problem.

The upload would fix these bugs: 612817 My motivation for maintaining this package is: I plan to use this package myself on my existing Debian Xen cluster for live migration. Since I don't want to build source packages on productive environments I decided to do my own Debian package. Moreover I have a general interest to become involved into Debian development (please note there is another ITP [1] I own, where I would await a review and/or sponsorship), so I would like to share my package. The Debian packages distribute man pages which have been written by me. I will propose the man pages I wrote and include into the binaries to upstream as soon as I sent this mail. It may be worth noting a native speaker perhaps should review them. The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/x/xnbd - - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/x/xnbd/xnbd_0.0.3+hg20110210-1.dsc I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me. FWIW: xNBD derived from the original NBD package and still shares code with it afaict. This might bring up the question whether it is legal to distribute xNBD as GPL-2+ (I can't tell xNBD is a fork though). The license statements made by ustream are a bit misleading and perhaps incomplete, as he seems to use the word GPL-2/GPL-2+ exchangeable. [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2011/01/msg00276.html, note Stig Sandbeck Mathisen uploader of Varnish and Munin packages denoted an interest to sponsor me there, so that ITP /may/ ignored.

What I've been using is the examples info in the man page; i.e., create an archive, create a tag, then do a 'pristine-tar commit' to that archive and that tag. Seems to work well enough, but I also would be interested in best practises/tutorial in case I'm missing something... One thing I've found is if you are also upstream for the package, and you want to use git-buildpackage, you need to do the 'pristine-tar commit' for both the distribution archive and the debian 'orig' archive. It's easy enough to do (just rename the distribution archive to the debian 'orig' format & do the commit on that) , but is an extra step. (If there is an easier/better way to do that, I'd be interested in hearing about it...)

My guess would be that most people use it together with git and git-buildpackage. It then boils down to having a pristine-tar branch and a debian/gbp.conf with [DEFAULT] pristine-tar = True In general the manpages for both, pristine-tar and git-buildpackage, are helpful.
