Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: bookworm
User: release.debian.org at packages.debian.org
Usertags: pu
X-Debbugs-Cc: request-tracker5 at packages.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:request-tracker5

[ Reason ]
The version in bookworm includes a bug where the suffix we append to the
upstream version is included in a generated URL for accessing documentation
about configuration settings presented in the UI. Bug report:
    https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1033304

We weren't able to include this in the bookworm releases as our packages
suffered a FTBFS issue due to a rhino and closure-compiler issue, as
discussed here:
    https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1036159 

By the time the issues with closure-compiler and rhino were resolved it was
too late to get a fixed version of request-tracker5 into bookworm.

I have also included a minor fix to the date string in d/changelog for
5.0.3+dfsg-2 as I failed to update the date when I uploaded that version, and
then due to the FTBFS issue I wasn't able to resolve it when I spotted it.

Version 5.0.3+dfsg-3 in unstable only includes the fixes which are proposed
for bookworm.

[ Impact ]
When an RT administrator attempts to look up the documentation for a
configuration setting, they'll get a 404.

[ Tests ]
I have installed the proposed packages on my personal RT installation running
bookworm, and verified that the generated links are correct and work.

[ Risks ]
Low risk.

[ Checklist ]
  [x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
  [x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable

[ Changes ]
d/patch/debianize_version.diff now modifies
share/html/Admin/Tools/Config/Elements/Option to strip everything after and
including '+dfsg-' from the version string.

[ Other info ]
I acknowledge that it would be preferable to link to documentation contained
within the running system, but our packages don't currently configure the
generated documentation to be accessible via the web.
