2010-11-24 13:02:55 Max Bowsher summary Soyuz doesn't reliably use the correct previous package version, when calculating supersedes and diffs. Diff generation in the proposed pocket should consider the updates pocket even when there are previous proposed publications.
2010-11-24 13:06:14 Max Bowsher description <Daviey> lifeless / maxb: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/dpkg/1.15.5.6ubuntu4.4 <Daviey> The diff LP has generated is: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/57004735/dpkg_1.15.5.6ubuntu4.2_1.15.5.6ubuntu4.4.diff.gz <Daviey> which is against *4.2 <Daviey> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/1.15.5.6ubuntu4.2/+publishinghistory <--- is odd <Daviey> *.1 is marked Superseded by 4.3 ! <Daviey> *.2 isn't marked superseeded, just deleted with the comment "moved to -updates" <Daviey> The debian/changelog for 4.3 doesn't mention 4.1 (oddly) <Daviey> In any case, LP is giving an incorrect diff to me.... :/ <Daviey> (if you debdiff 4.3 and 4.4, you get the diff i expected. <Daviey> ^^ Downloading the .dsc's from launchpad. <maxb> Daviey: 4.3 was a security update <maxb> Therefore, at the time 4.4 was uploaded to proposed, it's possibly that 4.2 was still the latest in the updates pocket? * maxb curses at the difficulty of finding a link to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+publishinghistory, and manually composes the URL <maxb> hmm, apparently not, 4.3 was copied to updates long before 4.4 hit proposed <maxb> oh, gah, I bet LP saw that there was an earlier dpkg in lucid-proposed, and didn't check other pockets Consider https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/dpkg/1.15.5.6ubuntu4.4 The LP generated diff is against the ubuntu4.2 version *not* the ubuntu4.3 version. This would appear to be because LP has preferred to use the previous published version in the proposed pocket, but would ideally use the newer publication present in the updates pocket (which entered there from the security pocket, and therefore was never published in the proposed poclet.)
