Please backport apt-cacher-ng 0.7.11-1 (universe) from raring

[Chris J Arges]

Please backport apt-cacher-ng 0.7.11-1 (universe) from raring to precise, quantal.

Reason for the backport:
========================
There have been numerous bug fixes, stability fixes, and features added to newer releases of apt-cacher-ng that would be useful to those using LTS releases.

Testing:
========
Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.

You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage:
$ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s raring -d precise apt-cacher-ng
$ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s raring -d quantal apt-cacher-ng

* precise:
[X] Package builds without modification
[X] apt-cacher-ng installs cleanly and runs
* quantal:
[X] Package builds without modification
[X] apt-cacher-ng installs cleanly and runs

Reverse dependencies:
=====================
The following reverse-dependencies need to be tested against the new version of apt-cacher-ng. For reverse-build-dependencies (-Indep), please test that the package still builds against the new apt-cacher-ng. For reverse-dependencies, please test that the version of the package currently in the release still works with the new apt-cacher-ng installed. Reverse- Recommends, Suggests, and Enhances don't need to be tested, and are listed for completeness-sake.

You didn't tick the testing checklist in the description.
Have you tested that apt-cacher-ng builds and runs fine on precise and quantal?

[Chris J Arges (arges)]

Both packages have built successfully here:

Installation issues on quantal.

$ sudo dpkg -i apt-cacher-ng_0.7.11-1~quantal1~ppa1_amd64.deb
Selecting previously unselected package apt-cacher-ng.
dpkg: regarding apt-cacher-ng_0.7.11-1~quantal1~ppa1_amd64.deb containing apt-cacher-ng:
 apt-cacher-ng conflicts with logrotate (<< 3.8.0)
  logrotate (version 3.7.8-6ubuntu6) is present and installed.

dpkg: error processing apt-cacher-ng_0.7.11-1~quantal1~ppa1_amd64.deb (--install):
 conflicting packages - not installing apt-cacher-ng
Errors were encountered while processing:
 apt-cacher-ng_0.7.11-1~quantal1~ppa1_amd64.deb

At this point do I need to modify the package to not conflict logrotate << 3.8.0?

[Felix Geyer (debfx)]

Yes, it needs the same changes that have been done in https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-cacher-ng/0.7.1-1ubuntu1
plus dropping the logrotate conflict.

Latest ppa with correct backports:

Thanks

[Felix Geyer (debfx)]

It is not enough to drop the logrotate conflict from debian/control.
That has been added for a reason after all.

The diff from the upload a linked above contains the necessary changes to the logrotate script.

[Adam Stokes (adam-stokes)]

Thanks, I've got 2 new uploaded packages waiting to build with the following changelog:

apt-cacher-ng (0.7.11-1~precise4) precise; urgency=low

  * Remove logrotate conflict
  * debian/apt-cacher-ng.logrotate:
    Comment out the "su" lines as this requires logrotate 3.8.1 which isn't in
    Precise.

[Felix Geyer (debfx)]

Great, the uploads look good now.
Please let me know when you've tested the new packages.

[Adam Stokes (adam-stokes)]

I've verified the installation works and I've got another co-worker testing the functionality.

I'll update the bug once I get those real world tests done.

Thanks for your help
Adam

[Adam Stokes (adam-stokes)]

Felix,

I've heard back from interested parties and they've tested the installation as well as running it a few days to make sure no corruption occurs.

Thanks!
Adam

[Felix Geyer (debfx)]

Thanks for testing, I've uploaded the backports to precise and quantal.
