Re: Upgrade problems from LTS -> LTS+1



Hi

Yes that makes sense. I can write some tool for that too. But now I'm focusing on finding already existing problems. The script is almost ready. I'm testing it right now.

Yeah, the goal is to cover all sorts of releases (normal, -pu, security) and
get the highest version amongst them.

I think we shouldn't wait for when the package in the older release
has a greater version but check them *before*. That is, those packages
having the same version in ELTS & LTS or LTS & LTS+1 should be
flagged. This means, if they're added to {ela,dla}-needed, they should
either warrant a DSA upload or a -pu upload along with the DLA or ELA.
Hope that makes sense?
