Package: wordpress Version: 2.3.3-1ubuntu1 Severity: normal This is a courtesy copy of the bug report I made against the ubuntu wordpress package[1]. I provided a patch and I'd like to make sure this stuff gets backpushed to debian as well. So much for the intro, here comes the description verbatim from launchpad.
"I let ubuntu manage my wordpress install and I want to continue doing that. Thus, I don't think the built-in function from wordpress to inform about a new upstream release makes any sense and can easily be counterproductive. Somebody who is not so well-versed with the whole FOSS-process of upstream->debian->ubuntu might well be irritated that the software keeps telling about the available upgrade when "sudo aptitude" disagrees." Work has already progressed and some patched packages have been uploaded. I trust that the changes to wordpress-2.3.3/wp-admin/includes/update.php from http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19884709/wordpress_hardy.debdiff are quite appropriate for debian as well.
