Hello,
I have never contributed before and am trying to make a NMU patch to prevent package timeshift from being removed on 21Feb2020. The autoremoval bug for timeshift is 948130 [1]. I attempted to contact the maintainer 3 days ago but have not yet received a reply. This leaves me little hope that this RC bug can be closed in time without an NMU.
The fix is quite simple and was made in the upstream git repo, but has not been released yet. I have built the package locally but am at a loss of how to proceed next. I was lead to believe that using nmudiff was the correct next step, but I’m afraid I’ve stuffed that up as it made a new bug report [2] instead of sending it to the existing bug [1].
Please advise on how I should proceed.
Thanks
