Hi,
I need some asistance in doing a NMU with a new upstream version and
some bugs that are not in the BTS yet.
Maintainer for this Package libhtml-format-perl is
Michael Alan Dorman <mdorman@debian.org>.
Current Version is 1.23-1
New Version will be 2.03-0.1
I have a new Version of libhtml-format-perl allmost ready to run,
resolving the Bugs:
#157594: libhtml-format-perl: debian/copyright problems
#190459: libhtml-format-perl: FTBFS: Missing Build-Depends
#195093: libhtml-format-perl: New Upstream Version available
While I update the package, I recognized that lintian reports a lot
more errors:
W: libhtml-format-perl: package-installs-nonbinary-perl-in-usr-lib-perl5
usr/lib/perl5/HTML/Formatter.pm
W: libhtml-format-perl: package-installs-nonbinary-perl-in-usr-lib-perl5
usr/lib/perl5/HTML/FormatText.pm
W: libhtml-format-perl: package-installs-nonbinary-perl-in-usr-lib-perl5
usr/lib/perl5/HTML/FormatPS.pm
E: libhtml-format-perl: package-installs-packlist
usr/lib/perl5/auto/HTML-Format/.packlist
E: libhtml-format-perl_2.03-1_powerpc.changes:
bad-distribution-in-changes-file frozen unstable
W: libhtml-format-perl source: ancient-standards-version 3.0.0.0
They are fixed in the new version, too.
Should I report one bug for all these messages or three bugs, one for
each message?
Are the following steps correct?
1. Reporting the unreported Bugs
2. Sending Michael a Patch and inform him that I want to do a NMU
2.5. Submitting the Patch to each bug in the BTS (maybe a link is
better what do you think?)
3. Tag all bugs with Patch.
4. Wait some time.
5. Upload the Package with 7 Days Delay
best regards
Hans Freitag
