Please accept ttylog 0.26-1+deb8u1 for the next Jessie point release.
It
resolves an issue with the current version of ttylog in 'jessie'
(0.25-1) of
the truncating of the modem_device string during normal operation of
the
program. (Debian bug # 731086: ttylog: Unable to select serial device
(with -
d or --device option), closed with the upload of package version 0.26-1
in
June.)
I see that you've already uploaded a package for this. I'm afraid that
I'm going to have to reject that upload. For future reference, this is
why the preferred process is for the diff to be approved /before/ the
upload, rather than the discussion occurring afterwards.
For the record, one reason for the rejection is the version number. The
version of ttylog in unstable is 0.26-1 and your upload would introduce
a higher version into stable, which would break the archive's version
constraints (and is illogical in any case - for what you were attempting
to do, 0.26-1~deb8u1 would have been a more appropriate version).
Secondly, the diff from current stable includes packaging changes which
are generally not appropriate in a stable update, namely the debhelper
compat and build-depends bump (particularly as that change has nothing
to do with fixing the bug in question).
The rest of the diff looks okay from a quick view. If you'd like to
prepare and test a package that reverts the debhelper changes and is
versioned as 0.26-1~deb8u1, please attach a new debdiff to this bug and
I'd be happy to look at reviewing that.
Regards,
Adam
