Thank you for the answer. I somewhat understand what you are saying, but for ME personally as more of a end-user, I do not consider myself "fit to determine if a package can be synced or merged".
Ref. ALWAYS thoroughly check a package before asking for a sync. 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. I have NOT thoroughly checked this packaged, and if i went ahead and compiled it myself, i cant say i want to be a reliable source for figuring out if some strange fringe case breaks everything. Atleast i have learned something useful: 1. Submitting a BUG as a request for a package update is NOT what i thought it was. 2. Other than creating backports mainly for myself on the launchpad PPA, i am not fit to do any sort of "syncrequest" as i cant say i trust myself to test stuff in detail like required. As to #1 i kinda followed this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages , but if I had known it ALSO was my responsibility to test and maybe package/upload the package aswell I would not have done it. In my naivety I kinda thought/hoped reporting this as a bug was something the "people in the loop" would look at and go "Oh.. i see the automagic stuff had a hickup.. let me just reupload the package" kind of thing that i imagine can happen at times :) Sorry for taking up time with this, as this is sadly beyond my scope to do. Someone can probably close this bug if i cant figure it out myself :) Thanks for the help, even tho it was a bit beyond my understanding :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1897394 Title: Please sync gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64 (10.1.0-3+23) from debian Bullseye To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-mingw-w64/+bug/1897394/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
