Please sync mongodb 1:1.2.2-1 (none) into universe from Debian unstable (main)

[Richard M Kreuter]

Please sync mongodb 1:1.2.2-1 (none) from Debian unstable (main)

This will be a new package for Ubuntu: there is no outstanding Ubuntu variation from Debian. The package version included is specifically the stable version, suitable for inclusion in an LTS. A FeatureFreeze exception has been granted (see comment 8). The package builds and installs successfully in lucid.

[Gabe Gorelick (gabegorelick)]

Needs to be packaged first (see bug #399470).

[Richard M Kreuter (richard-10gen)]

I don't exactly understand the contents of but #399470, but the debian packaging files in the Debian package are up to date and functional. (They're essentially the same as the files in mongodb's upstream github master, too.)

[Gabe Gorelick (gabegorelick)]

What I mean is, this package has to first exist before it can be updated to a new version. Although, I don't really understand your sync request. What do you mean you are asking Debian to downgrade to 1.2.2 and that that's what you want in Lucid? Bug #399470 is getting 1.3.1 in Ubuntu. Do you mean you want to separately package 1.2.2 as well?

[Richard M Kreuter (richard-10gen)]

We'd like to have a stable MongoDB version in official releases of
Debian and Ubuntu. 1.3.x is our unstable/development branch, and IMO
it was sort of a mistake that that's what got into Debian sid.

Maybe this will help: as of a couple days ago, there is a mongodb-1.2
package in Debian's new package queue at

http://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html

So perhaps the package we'd like synced is mongodb-1.2.

[Richard M Kreuter (richard-10gen)]

Evidently the debian packager has chosen to use an epoch number, rather than a different package name, for the stable mongodb release 1.2.2.

http://packages.debian.org/sid/mongodb

Could we have this synced into Lucid?

[Gabe Gorelick (gabegorelick)]

Just make sure to follow the sync request procedure at [1] and hopefully everything can get worked out.

[Richard M Kreuter (richard-10gen)]

IIUC, the next step here is to request a freeze exception. Release managers: we (10gen) receive frequent requests for mongodb packages, and think it'd be helpful to Ubuntu users who want to use mongodb if there were in Lucid. Debian's accepted it; could we get it into Lucid?

[Scott Kitterman (kitterman)]

Given the they could have just asked to have the development version synced into Ubuntu, but instead did the right thing and had the stable version uploaded to Debian first, I'll ack the FFe for the new package. I'll do the archive admin New review when it hits. Please get a sponsor review and make this a proper sync request.

[Emmet Hikory (persia)]

ACK for sync request
