Public bug reported: Debian is considering switching to control.tar.xz by default:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2016/07/msg00016.html The Ubuntu archive doesn't support this yet. In order to do so, we need: * either an upgrade of Launchpad's upload processing hosts (pepo and haetae) to >=trusty, or a backport of control.tar.xz support to dpkg/precise-updates (the latter will be quicker) * a few minor changes to Launchpad's upload checks ** Affects: launchpad Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: dpkg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Fix Released ** Affects: dpkg (Ubuntu Precise) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: dpkg (Ubuntu Precise) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released ** Also affects: launchpad Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1640280 Title: Support Ubuntu uploads of .debs using control.tar.xz To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/1640280/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
