Hi there!
While re-reading the 'Contribute' webpage, I stumble across the
following questions:
- is not the dput's configuration useless?
<http://backports-master.debian.org/Contribute/#index2h3>
Rationale: dput includes the new backport stanza since 0.9.6.2 (and
0.9.6.1+squeeze1), see #595726.
- what about previous debian/changelog entries for a package that was in
lenny-backports, it has now a major version and it has also changed
uploader?
<http://backports-master.debian.org/Contribute/#index5h3>
I initially thought I should simply start with the new prosody_0.8.2
(because the new upstream version was never uploaded to backports),
but now at a second lecture I think I should start with the old
lenny-backports package and import all the successive versions. The
differences between the two methods, if I got it right, should be only
in the debian/changelog:
