Bug#948375: buster-pu: package ceph/12.2.12+dfsg-1
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: buster
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: pu
Hi release-team!
I have a bit complicated idea for a buster-pu: ceph.
Buster shipped with 12.2.11 and last April upstream released 12.2.12 as
bugfix release. As usual with ceph, the diff is *huge*, but it is a
bugfix-only release. So here are a few facts:
- upstream changes: https://ceph.io/releases/v12-2-12-luminous-released/
- proposed diff:
https://salsa.debian.org/ceph-team/ceph/compare/luminous%2Funstable...debian%2Fbuster
- I've basically imported the changes the Ubuntu people have done in
Ubuntu together with 12.2.12. So I assume this should work well, I did
not yet test it properly as I want to wait for a reply from you. I'll
prepare a backport of 14.2.x as soon as it migrates to testing anyway.
- The issue with ceph is that upstream doesn't do QA for 32bit and our
selection of unusual architectures. I don't know if it builds on all
buildds without trying...
- 12.2.X is already EOL at ceph upstream.... I just took over the
maintenance of ceph, so... everything is late. Things should be better
for bullseye.
- The packaging is not yet as close to the upstream packaging as I'd
like to have it. Upstream's packaging is very well tested and
supported, we should stick to that as far as possible.
For bullseye we'll have the same question: Big updates from upstream as
their pointrelease. Target will probably be 15.2.X (Octopus), which is
not yet released, but I hope it will be before bullseye will go into
freeze.
So... whats your opinion on that?
Thanks,
Bernd
