Monitoring upstream's VCS with and taking care of fixing defects also present in current packages is a good idea and generally scores higher in uploader's checklists. > Change: added patch 05_segfault_params.dpatch and included it in > 00list. > Closes: LP #301041 Helping Ubuntu folks is also very nice, and to be honest I was not aware of that LP magic. > Available from: > http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gxemul/gxemul_0.4.6.6-3.dsc 0.4.6.6-3 package uploaded.

I'll be offline next 48-72 hours (unexpected mountaineering ;) and I would be thankful if anyone takes care of uploading package to t-p-u, otherwise I will upload it once get back. Meantime, could you please ask Debian Release Team (debian-release at lists.debian.org) for approval showing them the debdiff for the package found in lenny ? As I see it, if in doubt pointers given by Pabs should help, otherwise please ask for help ;-) > My upload last night is still building, so I don't > know if that causes any problems with uploading this fix. 0.4.6.6-2 is already dinstalled, but that shouldn't matter anyway since buildds and wanna-build will pick the newer one I believe, unless anyone proves me wrong. -- pub 4096R/0E4BD0AB 2003-03-18 <people.fccf.net/danchev/key pgp.mit.edu>
