Dear Ubuntu developers,
The output of $(dpkg-query --show --showformat='${Maintainer}'
supervisor) brought me to this list. According to
https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss this list
serves the purpose of a "point of contact for Ubuntu users to reach
Ubuntu developers" and I am writing to you from this perspective.
In Ubuntu 10.04, 12.04 and 14.04 after running `apt-get install
supervisor' the Supervisor daemon would automatically be enabled (to
start on boot) and started (so that Supervisor was running by the time
apt-get returned).
Shortly after trying out Ubuntu 16.04 I found out that the Supervisor
daemon is no longer automatically enabled nor is it started during
installation. This breaks compatibility with previous and expected
behavior. In June '16 I reported this issue as a bug against the
supervisor package on Launchpad.net: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1594740
Apart from people confirming that the problem affected them it was quiet
in that bug report for a while, but a few hours ago the Debian package
maintainer replied that the bug was recently fixed in Debian unstable!
This leaves me wondering if there is a remote chance of getting this bug
fix into Ubuntu 16.04 (given that 16.04 is the latest Ubuntu LTS release
and it will be for quite a while)...
The supervisor release in Debian unstable that fixes this issue combines
several unrelated changes (as far as I can judge) including a new
upstream release of the supervisor package, so I don't suppose anyone
will be amused by the idea of simply copying the Debian unstable package
to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS which was released quite a few months ago :-).
Is there another way to get this bug fix into Ubuntu 16.04? I'm willing
to back port the minimal changes required to have correct maintainer
scripts generated :-) but I wouldn't know how to actually get the
changes into a released version of Ubuntu...
Long story short: Who do I contact to either 1) prod them to fix the bug
or 2) guide me in getting the bug fixed?
Thanks for reading,
Peter Odding
