|
|
|
+======================================
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Besides the usual stuff of refreshing patch queue, adjusting to recent
|
|
|
+Debian policy and debhelper compat level, addressing lintian warnigs ...
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Run a full regression test on the upstream release, an both litte
|
|
|
+ and big endian architectures.
|
|
|
+ NB: The test scripts are not public yet, the thesaurus will never be,
|
|
|
+ for legal reasons.
|
|
|
+* Run a full regression test on the Debian version as above.
|
|
|
+* Test-rebuild diffoscope using the new version.
|
|
|
+* First upload is to *experimental*.
|
|
|
+* Wait for ACCEPTED, then send a message to

+Subject: Heads-up: New upstream version of src:file in experimental
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Hello there,
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+A new upstream release of file/libmagic has been accepted into
|
|
|
+experimental a few moments ago, version <DEB_VERSION>. As your package is
|
|
|
+one of those that somewhat suffered from surprising feature changes of
|
|
|
+libmagic in the past, I'd like to give you an opportunity to test and
|
|
|
+to prepare for any changes, for better or for worse. In case of the
|
|
|
+latter, use the BTS as usual to report detections that could see an
|
|
|
+improvement.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+My plan is to upload to unstable in a week from now.
|
|
|
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+* Brace for impact.
|
|
|
+* Watch upstream git for the first round of bugfix commits.
