Gah. So when I was about to kick of pbuilder for the wheezy tomcat6 update I looked at the .dsc files and saw this: tomcat6_6.0.41-2+squeeze5.dsc tomcat6_6.0.41-2~deb7u1.dsc And realized, this is bad, squeeze-lts would have a higher version than wheezy-security. So tomcat6_6.0.41-2+deb7u1, no, that won't work, still lower version than squeeze-lts. So tomcat6_6.0.41-3~deb7u1 and "praying" that -3 will go into jessie. (Which is actually the right thing (I think), but still needs some work. (#770769)) And while tomcat6_6.0.41-3~deb7u1 would work regarding squeeze-lts, it will not work for wheezy-security now (AIU), as jessie has a lower version atm. Did I miss something? I'll now proceed with uploading tomcat-native to squeeze-lts and leave the tomcat6|tomcat-native uploads for now... grumble. cheers, Holger, who "takes credits" for choosing 6.0.41-2+squeeze5 and not 6.0.41-2~deb6u1... hindsight and all that. https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Development misses instructions for this use case (updating to a new upstream version which is the same as in wheezy) but should probably get some (as soon as we figured out whats proper), so we don't repeat this mistake. For now I'd wish to file a bug so we don't forget but against which package?
