[Piuparts-devel] Bug#744398: why should debsums care about obsolete conffiles?

[Axel Beckert]

Hi,

I've prepared an NMU for #744398 and uploaded it to DELAYED/2. Please
tell me if I should upload it with less delay. (I don't think more
delay makes much sense.)

As with my previous NMU, I've pushed my changes to the branch "nmu"
(http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/debsums.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/nmu)
and will merge it into the master branch once my NMU is in the
archive. Addtionally, I've also attached the debdiff to this mail.

It didn't work properly with the --root option. I've updated the patch
and tested the updated patch against a Wheezy pbuilder chroot which I
manually upgraded to Jessie within a pbuilder login session.

With the current version I could reproduce the issue. With the just
uploaded version I can't anymore.

So would the above fix also fix #689508? So far I've just closed
#744398 in my NMU as that was my goal. (Cc'ed 689508 and its
submitter.)

If that's the case, I'd close that bug report after my NMU reached the
archive. (I don't think removing the upload and reuploading a version
just with a modified changelog entry is worth the effort. I though
haven't pushed the git tag yet.)
