qemu Mon Aug 25 13:54:53 2008 Below now follows the report of the automated merge of the Ubuntu changes to the qemu 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 qemu 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: 0.9.1-5 qemu_0.9.1-5.dsc qemu_0.9.1.orig.tar.gz qemu_0.9.1-5.diff.gz ubuntu: 0.9.1-5ubuntu2 qemu_0.9.1-5ubuntu2.dsc qemu_0.9.1.orig.tar.gz qemu_0.9.1-5ubuntu2.diff.gz base -> ubuntu qemu_0.9.1-5ubuntu2.patch debian: 0.9.1-6 qemu_0.9.1-6.dsc qemu_0.9.1.orig.tar.gz qemu_0.9.1-6.diff.gz base -> debian qemu_0.9.1-6.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: 0.9.1-6ubuntu1 qemu_0.9.1-6ubuntu1.dsc qemu_0.9.1.orig.tar.gz qemu_0.9.1-6ubuntu1.diff.gz debian -> generated qemu_0.9.1-6ubuntu1.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.
