[Bug 948117] Re: Please backport egenix-mx-base 3.2.1-1 from Precise to Oneiric
Because packages from backports are not installed by default, we prefer to only use backports as a way to offer new features, not fix bugs. Bugs in packages should be fixed through the SRU process (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates), so that all users of the package can benefit from the fix. I'm going to go ahead and retarget this as an SRU bug. I'm happy to sponsor the fix; all I need from you is an isolated patch that fixes the crash, and a few sentences for each of the 5 points in step 2 of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure - you can put the writeup in the bug description. ** Also affects: egenix-mx-base (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: egenix-mx-base (Ubuntu Oneiric) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: egenix-mx-base (Ubuntu) Status: New = Fix Released ** Changed in: oneiric-backports Status: New = Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/948117 Title: Please backport egenix-mx-base 3.2.1-1 from Precise to Oneiric To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oneiric-backports/+bug/948117/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 948117] Re: Please backport egenix-mx-base 3.2.1-1 from Precise to Oneiric
Broder: This was fixed in an upstream revision of the program, and I am not able to narrow down what upstream changes were made to the program. The only solution I would see at this time, is to upload the package with the latest versioning numbers. That latest version exists in Precise and in Debian Sid, but not in Oneiric. I'd have to diff the entire source, and from what I can tell, there were several other changes to the upstream between the filing of the referenced bug, and the version in Precise. As I understand the system, this is not usually done. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/948117 Title: Please backport egenix-mx-base 3.2.1-1 from Precise to Oneiric To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oneiric-backports/+bug/948117/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 948117] Re: Please backport egenix-mx-base 3.2.1-1 from Precise to Oneiric
Normally we prefer to isolate just the necessary changes to fix the bug. In this case, though, the entirety of the 3.2.1 release contains bugfixes. In these cases, we can upload the new release as an SRU. However, I made a mistake opening an SRU task on this bug, since bug #884619 is already tracking the original problem, so I'm going to close out this bug and we can move the discussion there. ** No longer affects: egenix-mx-base (Ubuntu) ** No longer affects: egenix-mx-base (Ubuntu Oneiric) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/948117 Title: Please backport egenix-mx-base 3.2.1-1 from Precise to Oneiric To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oneiric-backports/+bug/948117/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
