Hi, I am just indicating reasons for the sync, and, by the fact that I filed this bug, that there is demand. I am not an Ubuntu maintainer, and don't intend or want to become one. (In case this looks like my making excuses, I note that I do spend considerable time on free software, but I prefer, as a developer, to work upstream; on Ubuntu itself I prefer to stay as a (hopefully intelligent!) user.)
Having said that, a quick look at the changelog.Debian shows that the existing Ubuntu-specific patches are either ones which need to be forward-ported (because they modify the Debian package or sudo itself to support Ubuntu-isms), or should have been applied already (because they are security fixes). The page you pointed me to doesn't seem to deal with the first case, as it says: "In particular, if there are Ubuntu changes in the current package, you must ensure the Ubuntu changes have been merged or are no longer relevant." But some of the changes have not been merged, and yet are relevant, because they deal with differences between Debian/upstream and Ubuntu which will not go away. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/689025 Title: Please update to Debian's version -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
