Re: Out of sync udebs

Note that there's an automatically generated page with this info and
much more at http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/testing-summary.html

The best way to get things synced up is to follow the instructions to
add annotations to that page.

I've pushed this to testing.

I'm being perhaps too catious here, but I'm not pushing this in for
other arches right now, unless I'm told it works and there's a reason to
do so (which is why i386 and powerpc were updated to the new one).
There's a small possibility the changes could break other arches, and
the gain of getting things synced up is not high enough.

> cdebootstrap-udeb       arm, sparc 0.2.3; other 0.2.4

Not used by d-i, and there is a small but nonzero chance some change in
this package could break d-i (by doing something with dependencies, for
example), so again the gain at this point of syncing is outweighed.

(I could get it removed from testing, I guess, until and unless d-i uses
it.)

Pushed.

> debootstrap-udeb        arm, sparc 0.2.3; other 0.2.4

Must have changed since your mail, it's currently at 0.2.38.1 on all
arches.

I should check to see why my script doesn't notice these, but I'm too
busy. Anyway, pushed.

Syncing evms would require updating all arches to the new upstream
version 2.3.4-1. I've had no reports about how that works with d-i, and
we're not at a point in the release cycle where new upstream versions
are put into sarge anyway, unless they fix a known RC bug.

This is another mess that my page somehow doesn't detect. Since you've
investigated this, what's the special case with m68k and sparc with this
one?

Now it's 0.54 everywhere.

> lvm2-udeb               hppa, mips, mipsel 2.00.15-3; other 2.00.08-4

lvm2 was updated on a few arches where the new upstream version fixed
lvm on that arch. The abovementioned policies have kept me from updating
it elsewhere at the moment.

I could update s390 to 0.70, but I'm not bothering with s390 updates
until we have a working installer for s390. At that point I'll probably
just update _all_ the s390 stuff in sarge to the then-working versions
in sid. It's not worth the bother until then.

I'll bet that architecture removals need to be done by hand for udebs.
Can someone (Waldi?) get me a complete list of obsolete s390 udebs in
sarge to remove?
