Only debian/ changes.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Thanks, Michael. Some remarks:

 - debian/hdparm.{pre,post}inst changes are cleanup before/in hardy and thus can be dropped
 - the changed build-depends versions don't seem to serve a real purpose, can we drop them to lower our delta? In particular, depending on debhelper >= 7 doesn't make a difference if debian/compat remains at 5.
 - Homepage: addition can be forwarded to Debian
 - The udev rules changes should go to Debian; Debian has a current udev as well now, and also uses /lib/udev/rules.d/ now.

I know that you aren't responsible for introducing these deltas, but when we merge packages, we should be agressive about sending applicable changes to Debian and drop old cruft, so that the package delta stays meaningful and minimal. Thank you!

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

Here's an updated debdiff. I did very little of what you asked, though Martin. :)

Basically, I just dropped the preinst and postinst changes. We don't care about pre-hardy changes because they'd be end-of-life or we don't care because people have to upgrade releases incrementally and Karmic is >1 upgrade from Fiesty?

As for the debhelper change, that went in because dh_installudev was modified in Ubuntu to install into /usr/lib/rules.d. So Scott (who bumped the dependencies) didn't care about the compat version; he just wanted a fixed dh_installudev change. He also fixed the cdbs dependency to take into account Ubuntu versions of cdbs while he was there.

The udev changes can't go into Debian (as-is) until the aforementioned dh_installudev changes go in. See the discussion (in which you are involved) in Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=491117.

As for Homepage, sure. Debian report here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=533190

More generally, we don't support upgrades which skip releases, except for LTS -> LTS. Thus, in order to upgrade from gutsy to anything, you first _must_ upgrade to karmic. Thus it is sufficient to only keep transition code until the next LTS.

> As for the debhelper change, that went in because dh_installudev was modified in Ubuntu to install into /usr/lib/rules.d.

Ah, indeed, I remember; sorry for the noise. So, while udev itself in Debian is up to date now, dh_installudev still does the wrong thing in Debian :-(

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

The actual init script -> udev script changes can go to Debian, though.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

In the meantime, Debian got a new version, can you please update the merge?

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

OK, here's a debdiff for 9.15-1. Oddly, the Debian changelog has erased all mention of 9.12. I'll shortly submit a patch for the init->udev change to Debian.

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

oops, one more change i have to make

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

There. Debian somehow duplicated all their install rules, so I have to remove the install line for the .rules file twice. Should be correct now.
