[Bug 958152] Re: Please backport libaugeas-ruby 0.3.0-1.1ubuntu1 (main) from maverick

[Dominic Cleal]

Thanks Micah.  I've tested the packages using Puppet as shipped in Lucid
(0.25.4-2ubuntu6.6) with a handful of Augeas resources, and again with
the latest 2.7.12 release to confirm they fix the problem.

** Description changed:

  Please backport libaugeas-ruby 0.3.0-1.1ubuntu1 (main) from maverick to
  lucid.
  
  Reason for the backport:
  ========================
  A number of functions and constants available in the Augeas library aren't exposed to Ruby, such as aug_load.  ruby-augeas 0.3.0 provides the glue so they can be used.
  
  We'd tried to use aug_load to fix an issue in Puppet, but discovered
  after release that Lucid doesn't have this version available:
  https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13107
  
  We need these methods and constants for other optimisations in the next
  major version of Puppet too.
  
  Testing:
  ========
  Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.
  
  You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage:$
  backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s maverick -d lucid
  libaugeas-ruby
  
  * lucid:
  [X] Package builds without modification
- [ ] libaugeas-ruby installs cleanly and runs
- [ ] libaugeas-ruby1.8 installs cleanly and runs
+ [X] libaugeas-ruby installs cleanly and runs
+ [X] libaugeas-ruby1.8 installs cleanly and runs
  
  Reverse dependencies:
  =====================
  The following reverse-dependencies need to be tested against the new version of libaugeas-ruby. For reverse-build-dependencies (-Indep), please test that the package still builds against the new libaugeas-ruby. For reverse-dependencies, please test that the version of the package currently in the release still works with the new libaugeas-ruby installed. Reverse- Recommends, Suggests, and Enhances don't need to be tested, and are listed for completeness-sake.
  
  libaugeas-ruby
