Re: Team upload policy



* Mattia Rizzolo <mattia@debian.org> [2021-09-16 17:43]:
I like the science team because I always felt fine uploading random
changes in the past when I needed them, in the python team I always need
to ponder "will the main uploader be bothered about my chnages" every
time.
I was unsure about that, and I didn't want to step on any toes,
which is why I decided to err on the side of caution.

Timo: go ahead and fix the packages.  Just, IMHO please do not add
allow-stderr, instead patch CMakeList to require an higher version (and
forward the patch upstream if possible).  I always felt that too many
packages already have allow-stderr where instead erroring out on stderr
is a very fine way to catch future regressions *exactly* like this one.
Looking at the src:cmake page I see there are not too many affected
packages, so it should be fine?
Bumping the minimum required version is the only sane solution
anyway.  Otherwise, I'd have to touch everything again, when CMake
upstream removes support for older versions eventually.

Thanks for your feedback!

Cheers
Timo
