It's kind of hard to tell what's changed. Upstream doesn't seem to publish a changelog/news file afaict, and didn't even tag 0.9.2 in their git repo. But Ubuntu has the experimental version with a delta and I'd like to get those in sync, so I think it makes sense to upload the latest release. >Well, if you look at tracker.debian.org, then you'll see that I uploaded the >package in early June, when I had still no commit rights to the git of the >DPMT.

No worries, and I'm glad you got your write access back. >The file here: >https://github.com/openstack/requirements/blob/master/upper-constraints.txt > >shows that OpenStack Newton (currently in Experimental) is right now gating >on 0.9.1 upstream, so 0.9.2 is probably fine as well. Please go ahead, you're >saving me some work! :) Hopefully, this wont break Mitaka (currently in Sid). Cool! This makes me wonder whether we can put something in the d/control or otherwise to indicate that a package may be used by OpenStack, and where to go for more information or sanity checks before new versions are uploaded. It definitely doesn't make sense to have to check for OpenStack compatibility for every DPMT package. I only noticed this one after looking at the open bugs and checking the versions in Debian and Ubuntu. Then I saw your unpushed upload and figured I better ask before I break stuff. :) Maybe we could add a header to d/control that would say something like "There's an OpenStack constraint on the version numbers, please check before you upload"? Then at least for a Maintainer: DPMT package, a quick email like mine could go out first. I'll upload 0.9.2 to unstable in a few minutes. Cheers, -Barry
