[Dan Streetman]

(updating description with the new BPO template: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports#BPO_Bug_Template)

[Impact]

 * This package is widely useful to developers, and is useful to have the latest version in all releases

[Scope]

 * This is backporting version 0.185 from Impish

 * This backport is (currently) targeting Hirsute and Focal

 * Bionic would be useful but the larger delta may require more changes to backport

[Other Info]

Two specific relevant bugs:
 * bug 1934452
 * bug 1862372

please also consider that we backports team also have in mind to keep u-d-t (and others) fully up-to-date in the backports suites (this should happen within a few weeks).

[Christophe Prud'homme (prudhomm-debian)]

Hi there,

is there an ETA for u-d-t 0.185/6 in focal with the fix to use pbuilder-dist for bullseye ?

thanks for your work
Best regards

uploaded to hirsute-backports queue, waiting for backports team review

[Mattia Rizzolo (mapreri)]

note that the team wasn't subscribed, so this bug fell off, at least, my radar.

anyhow, I'm reusing this bug very badly since it wasn't yet fully closed; in hindsight 2 minutes after I made the change I figured I was better opening a new one, but well..

I've now uploaded 0.187 everywhere, bionic, focal, hirsute, impish. Note that bionic and focal require the new debhelper that is also in the queue, see the related bug.
