[SRU] upload euslisp/jskeus to Ubuntu/Noble

[Kei Okada]

[Impact]

The euslisp and jskeus is a Lisp based intelligent robots programming system. They are originally release under ubuntu distribution until 23.10(https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/mantic/+package/euslisp-dev) and was wrongly removed from Ubuntu, just prior to the 24.04 release, see LP: #2063103

This problem was solve by LP #2096808, and now euslisp/jskeus is available on Plucky. But I'd like to use them from LTS, 24.04/

THe euslisp/jskeus for 24.04 is available from launchpad Ubuntu source (https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/euslisp?h=ubuntu%2Fnoble-devel) and PPA (https://launchpad.net/~k-okada/+archive/ubuntu/euslisp/+packages), so could you upload this package to Ubuntu release?

[Test case]

* They are the same version as we released on Plucky so it passed all test cases

[Regression Potential]

* No, Currently it is removed.

euslisp/jskeus is auto sync from debian on 20.04, 20.10, 21.04, 21.10, 22.04, 23.10, and, 24.10.
24.04 is missing due to it was blacklisted on sync-blacklist.txt.

After I read https://documentation.ubuntu.com/sru/en/latest/howto/contact/ carefully, do we need sponser? because it is first and only time to upload from ubuntu source tree.

[Michael Hudson-Doyle (mwhudson)]

You will need to prepare versions to upload that have versions lower than that in oracular or plucky and then find someone to sponsor the upload (some documentation here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess), then wait for SRU review (I am not an SRU team member)

[Kei Okada (k-okada)]

Thank you and sorry for trouble you again and again.

I am unclear about "prepare" process.

There are already 9.27 version source tree, whcih is lower than plucky (9.31, and there are no release for oracular) at https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/euslisp/log/?h=applied/ubuntu/noble
(noble branch)

I also added https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-sponsors to 'bug subscribers' of this ticket.

Is there anything that I have to do, to find sponsor ?

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

It is required for an Ubuntu SRU that it have a changelog entry targeting the correct release (noble instead of unstable, for example) and the changelog needs to have a Launchpad bug number for tracking using the LP: #2100570 syntax.

https://documentation.ubuntu.com/sru/en/latest/reference/requirements/#reference-upload-requirements

You also should run update-maintainer (from ubuntu-dev-tools) in the package source after adding the new changelog entry.

Then you need to provide us the source for sponsoring. You could point us to a git repo or you could provide a patch in debdiff form that we could apply against a previous version.

I think the SRU team would prefer to have a version prepared for oracular instead of only noble. That way people that upgrade won't have the same problem with euslisp & jskeus not being supported packages.

When you have done all this, please subscribe ubuntu-sponsors again. Or you can subscribe them if you need more help.

[Jeremy Bícha (jbicha)]

There's no need to manually subscribe ubuntu-sru. They'll be automatically subscribed if they accept the upload from the unapproved queue (that queue is where your upload will go once it's been sponsored).

[Kei Okada (k-okada)]

@jbicha I have created following branch thus targeting each release.

https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/euslisp/-/tree/master-20.04
https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/euslisp/-/tree/master-22.04
https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/euslisp/-/tree/master-24.04
https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/euslisp/-/tree/master-24.10

I have checked all sources with `sbuild -d <release>` and seems ok.

If this is OK, I'll update jskeus repository.
