Excellent! Thank you very much again for this, Dan - it is very good to
see a new Sup release, and I'm now happily running the 0.23 gem "in
production".
For collaborating with downstream:
- Fedora:
- I saw that you already have this in hand, Dan - and have closed
Red Hat Bugs 1855734 & 1830697, with an updated rubygem-sup
package for Fedora 33 (rubygem-sup-0.23-2.fc33). Thank you!
<https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1540831>.
- Arch Linux:
- I've updated Arch Wiki's gem installation instructions for 0.23,
<https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sup>
- I've also flagged the AUR "sup (0.22.1 released 2015-06-18) and
"sup-git" (93df79b committed 2017-02-14) AUR packages as
out-of-date.
- Debian:
- "sup-mail" package was removed in April 2020 from Debian unstable
(sid) and testing (bullseye) due to no Ruby 2.7 support (Debian
bugs 956071 & 952089). <https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/sup-mail>
- Now that 0.23 has Ruby 2.7 support, I'm going to contact the
previous Debian maintainers, and see if I can work with them to
reintroduce the package into Debian unstable.
- It should then flow to Debian testing automatically.
- The package is currently sitting in Debian Ruby Team's "Attic",
for packages removed from the Debian archive:
<https://salsa.debian.org/ruby-team/attic/sup-mail>.
- Ubuntu:
- "sup-mail" isn't present in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (focal), but was
previously included in prior releases, including Ubuntu 19.10
(eoan) and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (bionic).
- If Debian accepts the reintroduction of the "sup-mail" package,
then perhaps Ubuntu might consider a "Stable Release Update"
(SRU), to reintroduce the package - to avoid a poor upgrade
experience from prior Ubuntu versions, especially since focal is
an LTS release which people may be running until 2025.
- If Debian reintroduce the package first, then I will see if the
Ubuntu maintainers might be willing to consider this.
Kind regards,
Iain
