@tsimonq2: acqully no, in backports we follow the security team recommendation about versioning, and we also explicitly document on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports#Preparing_the_Backported_Package an example which has two ubuntu releases in the version string.
I agree it is a bit jarring to see, but it's there just as a safe case for upgrade paths. :) This about a case of this package being versioned 2.6.12-0ubuntu0~bpo22.04.1; this would let you update to a potential 2.6.12-0ubuntu0.24.04.0, which could in theory represent a downgraded! All very theoretical, I know, but... (btw, I'm not clear what you mean with "may make the diff quite large"? diff against what would get you something large?) @jorge-merlino: rather, the changelog should document what changes you have done (and why) to the version you have based the backport on; in this case, you haven't documented the dependency change. ** Summary changed: - [BPO] Backport Noble version to Jammy + [BPO] openvpn/2.6.12 from Noble to Jammy -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2097688 Title: [BPO] openvpn/2.6.12 from Noble to Jammy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvpn/+bug/2097688/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
