[Bug 2053256] Re: Update lcm to 1.5 for Noble

[Andreas Hasenack]

This now needs a feature freeze exception, as described in
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreezeExceptionProcess.

Please follow that process, and after the FFe is granted, subscribe
ubuntu-sponsors again.

Regarding how you are providing the package to be sponsored, I
personally would prefer a git branch against pkg/ubuntu/devel. For these
cases where we go ahead of debian, what I would do is have the first
commit on top of pkg/ubuntu/devel be the new upstream version, and then
whatever changes are needed in the packaging to get that built for
noble.

Title:
  Update lcm to 1.5 for Noble

Status in lcm package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in lcm package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  Version bump for the lcm package to latest version
  1.5.0+repack-0ubuntu1

  Package PPA:
   - https://launchpad.net/~j-rivero/+archive/ubuntu/lcm-1.5
   (let me know if you prefer a Bzr branch)

  [Other info]

  I have the version bump ready on Debian but the 64bit_time transition[1] is preventing the
  packages to go through the lib transition since two weeks ago and counting. As we want to
  have these new versions in 24.04 (feature freeze is coming soon), we need to do the version bump directly on Ubuntu.

  Changes done in the packaging:

   * New upstream version 1.5.0+repack
   * Formatter changes
   * Bump standards to 4.6.2
   * Use default-jdk package for java support
   * Bump version to 1.5.0+repack1
   * Rediff patches:
   * PATCH: use gnuinstalldirs in CMake
   * PATCH: use gtest from system
   * PATCH: use java system dependencies instead of embedded files
   * PATCH: Encode utf8 characters to fix the java build
   * PATCH: fix manpages name to make lintian happy
   * Add CMake to d/control
   * Use --no-parallel for testing
   * Cleanup d/rules
   * Update liblcm-doc.docs for new paths
   * Generalize d/liblcm-dev.install
   * Convert package to use pybuild. Change d/rules heavily.
   * Update java dependencies in d/control
   * Update d/copyright file
   * Keep lcm-java.pc only in the java package
   * Remove .doctrees from the -docs package
   * Add bindnow to DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS
   * Replace embedded fonts and jquery with system dependencies
   * Remove .gitignore from liblcm-doc installation
   * Update existing patch for javadoc generation
   * Update d/changelog
   * Rework java patch to use offline generation
   * Reorder java dependencies: in -bin and -java
   * Adding Section: to packages
   * Added autotest: install and build-cpp

  [Justification]

  Current lcm version 1.3.1 comes from 2016 !! and is broken for
  different use cases when using the tools provided by the package with
  modern versions of java and/or python.

  [Risk analysis - Library transition]
  There is no package depending on lcm currently in the Ubuntu repository. No library transition needs to performed.
