- Exactly how are debian updates propagated?:
In times before Upstream Version Freeze (UVF) [1], source packages are automatically imported from Debian, if no Ubuntu changes exist, in every other case, they have to be merged manually. [1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseSchedule
- I see that while clc is pretty current on dapper, clisp or sbcl aren't so current, sbcl is still at some ancient level (1:0.9.2.0-3). How can we fix this?
[2] describes the current workflow of the MOTU team on merges, but some investigation shows, that sbcl for example repeatedly FTBFS [3]. Build Logs are linked from [4]. [2] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTUToMerge [3] http://people.ubuntu.com/~lamont/buildLogs/s/sbcl/ [4] http://packages.ubuntu.com
In general, how can we advise what version we think is suitable for a release, esp. with the long live of dapper this seems an important question. - hoary is still at clc 4.12 and is vulnerable to the security problem. How do we fix this?
ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com is certainly suitable for these things.
- Where do ubuntu bugs go?
Soon we will do the full transition to [5], but at the moment 'main' packages are still reported in [6]. [5] http://launchpad.net/malone [6] http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com
I've searched the wiki and other resources, but failed to answer these questions.
I hope, I could bring some light into this. Have a nice day, Daniel
