[Bug 1664746] Re: Request for sponsorship for new upstream release (zesty deb provided)

[Francesco Fumanti]

Thanks Mattia for your reply.

In fact, the onboard package came into existence "many" years ago to
have a working onscreen keyboard in Ubuntu and came to debian only years
later. Ubuntu being the main target of the package, we used to create a
release shortly before feature freeze in Ubuntu and submit it for
sponsorship as I did this time.

I noticed that the onboard package in zesty had switched to the version
available in debian, but I assumed that it happened because the version
number in debian was higher than the version number from the package
inherited from yakkety. But I seem to have been wrong about the switch
to the debian package being due to the version number. Thus, I will
start looking at how to submit the new package to debian. By the way,
thanks for the link about how to submit bugs to debian.

The package I am going to submit to debian will however have the patch
with the Ubuntu defaults settings removed; but I suppose that you will
port the Ubuntu defaults patch from the current package to the new
package when doing the sync with debian...
