[Bug 1186588] Re: Please merge xenomai 2.6.2.1-2 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

[James Page]

Hi Alessandro

Thanks for taking the time to prepare this merge.

A few comments:

1) preservation of ubuntu changelog entries.

Currently your debdiff does not preserve the changelog entries for
previous Ubuntu versions.  As this is a merge, it really should do this.

2) dropped changes.

As well as documenting which changes are still required in Ubuntu, its
best practice to also document which Ubuntu changes have been dropped
and why - for example the fix_thumb_build.patch has been dropped, but no
details are provided as to why that is the case.

I'd recommend that you take a look at the 'grab-merge' tool in the
ubuntu-dev-tools package as this does most of the hard work re
changelogs etc.. leaving the user to just resolve outstanding conflicts
etc..

    * New upstream release

   -- Roland Stigge <stigge at antcom.de>  Thu, 02 Aug 2012 17:40:54 +0200

  xenomai (2.6.0-2) unstable; urgency=low

    * Add patch from upstream, fixing a bug in clock_nanosleep (Closes: #677633)
      Comment from patch author:
        Note however that with xenomai, a signal received during nanosleep will
        trigger a switch to secondary mode. So, this usage is only possible for
        a real-time thread in exceptional conditions (to handle an error for
        instance), not when latency matters.
    * debian/control: Standards-Version: 3.9.3

   -- Roland Stigge <stigge at antcom.de>  Sat, 16 Jun 2012 17:10:54 +0200

  xenomai (2.6.0-1) unstable; urgency=low

    * New upstream release
    * Needed to autoreconf, adding necessary build-dependencies

   -- Roland Stigge <stigge at antcom.de>  Sun, 06 Nov 2011 15:32:52 +0100

  xenomai (2.5.6-3) unstable; urgency=low

    * Added -fno-ommit-frame-pointer to build, necessary from gcc 4.6 on
      (Closes: #637425)
    * Removed *.la files from libxenomai-dev

   -- Roland Stigge <stigge at antcom.de>  Fri, 12 Aug 2011 20:39:11 +0200

  xenomai (2.5.6-2) unstable; urgency=low

    * Removed usage of dh-kpatches in the build process (and from Build-Depends)
      since this package will probably be removed from Debian (and make-kpkg
      doesn't support automatic patching anymore anyway)
    * Standards-Version: 3.9.2
    * debhelper compatibility level 8
