Public bug reported: Upstream haproxy has the concept of an LTS release, and a stable (non- LTS) release. Currently, these are (see table at http://www.haproxy.org/):
stable: 2.1.x stable LTS: 2.0.x Debian unstable is at the moment tracking 2.0.x, and debian experimental is tracking 2.1.x. For the next ubuntu lts release, we would like to stay on the 2.0.x track, which is upstream's LTS. Since this package is a sync, whenever the debian maintainers decide to push 2.1.x into unstable, we will automatically sync it (if we are not yet in feature freeze mode). To avoid that, a few options were explored[1], and adding an ubuntu version to the package seems the best one. Therefore, the package will have an ubuntu version, have its maintainer changed, but no extra delta, just to stop the automatic sync from happening. Whenever new versions of the 2.0.x track are uploaded to debian/sid, we will merge it manually into ubuntu. 1. https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu- devel/2019-December/040853.html ** Affects: haproxy (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Assignee: Andreas Hasenack (ahasenack) Status: In Progress ** Tags: ahasenack -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server, which is subscribed to haproxy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1854988 Title: Block automatic sync from debian for the next LTS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/haproxy/+bug/1854988/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
