Hi all,
I'm trying to find out how I can solve diverging changelogs in SLE/Leap and Factory. There were some patches in SLE12 SP3, which are not needed (and are in fact harmful) in SLE12 SP4.
1. When I take the Factory package and submit it to SLE12 SP4, the submission gets rejected, because some (SP3) patches are not mentioned in the changelog.
You can submit packages from Factory just fine. The condition is only that bug references must not get lost. Patch names do not matter. So
Thanks. Unfortunately, it would not really help here, because the bugs themselves were SLE/Leap-specific. Essentially, recent versions of makedumpfile do not work with older kernels (including SP3 kernel), so the package broke after being updated (as a result of an ECO). This situation never happened in Factory, because the kernel was already new enough when makedumpfile was updated. It's probably not worth trying to fix the upstream package to stay compatible with outdated kernel versions, so I reverted some upstream commits instead. Oh, and the update in SP4 is necessary, because old makedumpfile versions do not work with newer kernels (e.g. the SP4 kernel). Petr T
usually you would retrofit the bug references to the Factory changelog entry that updated the package to a version that contained the bug fixes.
