That's sounds good, but you should base it on Debian 1.52-1. > I don't see what you're asking me to do here: must I just copy the "Merge > with Debian unstable; remaining changes" section > from from 1.47-1ubuntu2? Yes, that would work, ideally you should check that every bit in the debdiff has a corresponding entry in that list, so we are sure there are no old cruft slipping through or unexpected changes. >The Ubuntu changelog is intact, since my latest debdiff in this bug is from >karmic main's 1.47-1ubuntu2 to this new > 1.52-1ubuntu1 (built with the same .diff.gz, as above, with the new changelog > lines). You are right, I was thinking wrong. > I know that the -- Uploader Name <email-usern...@domain> line is wrong; Put your own name/address there. > Should I sign my package, or should the sponsor do that? The sponsor will apply your debdiff against the old (or Debian) package and sign it and upload. > I'm basically confused and put off from doing much with laptop-mode- tools now. :-/ It is always difficult the first time. And merging laptop-mode-tools is not the easiest thing. Which is probably why nobody came as far as you with this in Karmic yet :) Be prepared that this might not be accepted in Karmic because it would bring in too many changes now just before the release, and with not enough time to verify it. Your effort is highly appreciated, and your version can go into Lucid Lynx as soon as it opens for package updates. If Debian releases a newer version meanwhile you should update it accordingly though. -- FFE Request: Karmic: Update to latest upstream version 1.52 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/446715 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
