Proposal: For stable and security updates of backported packages which are not new upstream versions, it is not necessary to test reverse dependencies. The only testing required is builds/installs/runs of the package itself.

Currently, during the period between FeatureFreeze and release (about 1/3 of the cycle!), it's impossible to upload either new packages or new features to Ubuntu (freeze exceptions excluded). Post-release, this is an issue already addressed by the backports process. We'd like to propose extending the use of backports by opening the backports pocket for uploads and Debian syncs at FeatureFreeze, and then copying the contents of the backports pocket to the x+1 release when it opens, similar to what we do already for SRUs. We would still enforce the current backports requirements (the package must "build, install, and run", any reverse-dependencies must still work with the new package, and all uploads must be approved by a backporter). These requirements are stronger than those for general archive uploads, so we don't believe that there is significant risk to post-r</pre> Evan Broder 2011-11-02T21:11:01 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.backports/15656 <pre>Gunnar Hjalmarsson has proposed merging lp:~gunnarhj/ubuntu/lucid/gdm/backports-lp-771661 into lp:ubuntu/lucid-backports/gdm.

I'm not too keen on backporting python-defaults or python, so I wonder whether you folks faced such a case and how you handled it? Thanks! </pre> Loïc Minier 2011-01-29T18:08:27 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.backports/15271 <pre>I attempted to perform a backport of vlc 1.1.5&lt;http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/v/vlc/vlc_1.1.5-3ubuntu2.dsc&gt;on my Karmic machine using pbuilder, but the build failed due to unmet dependencies. How can I configure pbuilder to use older dependencies or use the dependencies already installed on my machine and not those in the base tarball? What method would backporters use to backport packages, i.e. do they use their own machines to backport or is the building done via Launchpad servers? How can I debianize the source code and then use pbuilder to build the package? </pre> Dan 'Da Man' 2011-01-17T14:56:44 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.backports/15031 <pre></pre> Software Sale 2010-11-14T12:25:58 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.backports/14867 <pre> Bug expiry in Launchpad is changing ------------------------------------ The way Launchpad handles inactive bugs is changing.
