Comment 16 for bug 885502

In order to get a fix deployed for a stable release like oneiric, there are a few things that need to be done here on this bug report.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/ for the full details.

1. Update the bug report with the following sections:

* An [Impact] section explaining the severity and frequency of the bug on users and justification for backporting the fix to the stable release

* A [Development Fix] section with an explanation of how the bug has been addressed in the development branch, including the relevant version numbers of packages modified in order to implement the fix.

* A [Stable Fix] section pointing out a minimal patch applicable to the stable version of the package. If preparing a patch is likely to be time-consuming, it may be preferable to get a general approval from the SRU team first.

* A [Test Case] section with detailed instructions how to reproduce the bug. These should allow someone who is not familiar with the affected package to reproduce the bug and verify that the updated package fixes the problem.

* A [Regression Potential] section with a discussion of likelihood and potential severity of regressions and how users could get inadvertently affected.

2. Get the branch reviewed and uploaded to oneiric-proposed

3. Subscribe the ubuntu-sru team

4. Once the upload has been approved by archive admins, test the actual binaries and follow up in the bug report with test verification.
