[needs-sync] collectd (4.3.0-1)

[Morten Kjeldgaard]

Binary package hint: collectd

Please merge version 4.3.0-1 from Debian unstable. The current Ubuntu version of collectd is 3.10.4, released by upstream 2006-12-21. Since then, series 3.11 fixed several bugs, and version 4.* has introduced many new features and bug fixes. We need an FFE for this package, since hardy is LTS and it will be problematic maintaining version 3.* for the duration.

[Morten Kjeldgaard (mok0)]

The debian version has solved all issues that in the past have been addressed by local Ubuntu revisions. For Intrepid Ibex, please do a straight sync.

please don't set freeze exceptions to confirmed (that means that the exception is granted). Also please attach a diffstat and a diff of the upstream changelog and then set the bug back to new. Thanks.

[Morten Kjeldgaard (mok0)]

Please find attached diffstat, created using:

 diff -r collectd-3.10.4/ collectd-4.3.0/ |diffstat > collectd.diffstat

[Morten Kjeldgaard (mok0)]

Please find attached changelog diff

Even though this is really a huge feature collection, I guess it makes sense to switch to major 4, in the hope we thus can get upstream support during hardy. ACK #1.

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Ack #2 and approved.

[Morten Kjeldgaard (mok0)]

After consultation with Luke Yelavich on IRC, we decided to change this request from a merge to a sync request.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Sync ACKed.
