Re: [Bug 1416651] Re: Please merge inkscape 0.91-1 from Debian unstable (main)
In general, we want to miminize the delta between Debian and Ubuntu. As this would be merging from experimental, this means that you want to apply (the current Ubuntu delta against what it is based on) to (the current packaging in Debian experimental). Unless there's something specific about Inkscape or desktop that I don't know about, I see no reason why you have to look at what is in Debian unstable today, since you'd be merging from experimental, not unstable. I'm not that familiar with desktop packages, so I'd like a +1 from an Ubuntu developer who is before sponsoring/reviewing this change - in particular that merging from experimental is OK in this case. I'm an Inkscape fan though, and would love to have the latest in Vivid.

[Bug 1416651] Re: Please merge inkscape 0.91-1 from Debian unstable (main)
I had a quick go at a direct merge last night, and there were a few conflicts to sort out... I guess I wasn't sure whether the priority is to minimise the delta between the new package and (a) the current Ubuntu package (b) Debian unstable or (c) Debian experimental. I'll have another look at it later, and try to pick the best bits of each, and make the eventual merge as painless as possible! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1416651 Title: Please merge inkscape 0.91-1 from Debian unstable (main) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inkscape/+bug/1416651/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 1416651] Re: Please merge inkscape 0.91-1 from Debian unstable (main)
Why not just merge into Ubuntu directly from experimental? Presumably experimental is intended to land in unstable eventually, so surely it should have everything we want? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1416651 Title: Please merge inkscape 0.91-1 from Debian unstable (main) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inkscape/+bug/1416651/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1416651] Re: Please merge inkscape 0.91-1 from Debian unstable (main)
Ah I didn't realise the freeze for Jessie was in effect... no, I doubt that Inkscape will meet the exception policy! I guess we should push ahead with a merge from experimental then, but it might be a bit fiddly. Would it be reasonable to do something like: bzr branch lp:debian/inkscape debian-inkscape cd debian-inkscape # First merge debian/experimental -> debian/unstable bzr merge debian-experimental bzr commit # Now merge debian/unstable -> ubuntu cd .. bzr branch lp:ubuntu/inkscape ubuntu-inkscape cd ubuntu-inkscape bzr merge debian-inkscape bzr commit Is this a sensible approach, or will it cause headaches? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1416651 Title: Please merge inkscape 0.91-1 from Debian unstable (main) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inkscape/+bug/1416651/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

> ctually, it'll probably be cleaner to hold on for a short time until the Debian maintainer has released the package in the Unstable branch... Are you sure that the Debian maintainer is planning to do this? Since Debian is in freeze, it's often easier to not upload something to unstable that will not go into the release. I presume that this new release doesn't meet the jessie freeze policy. I'd also presume that the Debian maintainer plans to upload the experimental version to unstable eventually, so I think the divergence will disappear.
