that some do - it can even be: "Warning: there are some important changes
in version 0.6.0-20070501 - your installation will probably fail unless
you follow the recommendations in /usr/share/doc/samizdat/NEWS.Debian."

Ah, you're right, I should put a warning using debconf. Probably not
as critical for experimental, but definitely should be done before
uploading this version to unstable.

OK. i guess even in testing/unstable, sysadmins should expect stuff to
break, i was thinking more in terms of the stable distribution - and i guess in stable, essentially only security updates get accepted, so this
sort of radical change would not go directly into stable.

Even when an upgrade gives 10-20 packages modified?  Well, i guess
there's a difference between stable and testing/unstable and experimental.

Don't take my word on this, some DDs may disagree with me :)

:)

I am upgrading from unstable daily, so I'm kind of used to checking
NEWS and changelogs when something breaks. Although I have to admin it
doesn't happen all that often, and it's not supposed to happen at all
when you upgrade from stable.

OK, sounds reasonable to me.

On a related topic, what are the plans for getting samizdat from unstable
into the full unstable -> testing cycle, so that in 18-24 months' time
samizdat will get into stable?

Version 0.6.0 is already in testing:
http://packages.qa.debian.org/s/samizdat.html

Ah yes, you're right.

I hope that in 18-24 months time it will be at least 0.6.1 there :)

i would hope 0.6.2 :)

Version 0.6.0.20070506-1 (soon to appear in experimental) will include
this and a bunch of other fixes, including weird database deadlocks
caused by CSRF protection. I hope the fix to keep action tokens in
cache instead of database will not cause cache deadlocks instead ;-)

As i said in my email a moment ago about the calendar-0.4 patch, i think
i experienced a bug which was probably this "database deadlock", and it
seems to have disappeared in 20070506. :)


BTW - could we get a fix for the "upload content from file" usability
issue into cvs?

We discussed this in February:

user barrier - ambiguity about "content" vs "upload content from file"
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/samizdat-devel/2007-02/msg00004.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/samizdat-devel/2007-02/msg00005.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/samizdat-devel/2007-02/msg00009.html

and i think it should be fairly easy.


cheers
boud
