dictionaries-common Thu Aug 7 12:02:28 2008 Below now follows the report of the automated merge of the Ubuntu changes to the dictionaries-common source package against the new Debian version. This file is designed to be both human readable and machine-parseable. Any line beginning with four spaces is a file that should be downloaded for the complete merge set. Here are the particulars of the three versions of dictionaries-common that were chosen for the merge. The base is the newest version that is a common ancestor of both the Ubuntu and Debian packages. It may be of a different upstream version, but that's not usually a problem. The files are the source package itself, and the patch from the common base to that version. base: 0.98.9 dictionaries-common_0.98.9.dsc dictionaries-common_0.98.9.tar.gz ubuntu: 0.98.9ubuntu1 dictionaries-common_0.98.9ubuntu1.dsc dictionaries-common_0.98.9ubuntu1.tar.gz base -> ubuntu dictionaries-common_0.98.9ubuntu1.patch debian: 0.98.12 dictionaries-common_0.98.12.dsc dictionaries-common_0.98.12.tar.gz base -> debian dictionaries-common_0.98.12.patch Generated Result ================ No problems were encountered during the merge, so a source package has been produced along with a patch containing the differences from the Debian version to the new version. You should compare the generated patch against the patch for the Ubuntu version given above and ensure that there are no unexpected changes. You should also sanity check the source package. generated: 0.98.12ubuntu1 dictionaries-common_0.98.12ubuntu1.dsc dictionaries-common_0.98.12ubuntu1.tar.gz debian -> generated dictionaries-common_0.98.12ubuntu1.patch Once you have a source package you are happy to upload, you should make sure you include the orig.tar.gz if appropriate and information about all the versions included in the merge.
