Hey Michael -
This actually sounds like a more or less standard backport request.
Tweaking the package to deal with toolchain changes is completely
acceptable - we have to do it with some regularity.
However, in order to make sure the non-LTS upgrade path is still safe,
we would also need to backport apt-clone to maverick, natty, and
oneiric. I'll go ahead and open bug tasks. Maverick should have
dh_python2, so I'm assuming that no source changes will be required for
any of those.
It also looks like apt-clone has 1 reverse-dependency and 1 reverse-
build-dependency in both natty and oneiric:
apt-clone
---------
* ubiquity
[ ] natty (Reverse-Depends)
[ ] oneiric (Reverse-Depends)
* update-manager
[ ] natty (Reverse-Build-Depends)
[ ] oneiric (Reverse-Build-Depends)
As far as I can tell, using ubiquity outside of the live CD environment
doesn't make any sense, so I don't think we need to enforce testing that
one, so that just leaves update-manager.
So that makes this a more or less standard backport, and we just have a
few things that need to be tested:
- Please make sure that the package builds/installs/runs without modification
on maverick/natty/oneiric (I'm assuming you've already tested lucid)
- Please make sure that natty and oneiric's update-manager still works with
the backported apt-clone.
The backports team will do a final once-over after the testing is done,
so please change the status of the bug tasks to Confirmed when you've
done the testing, and we'll take another look.
Thanks
