please merge hdapsd 1:20090401-1 from Debian/Sid

A new version is available in Debian/Experimental. Please sync 1:20090129-1 from Debian/Experimental. Attached debdiff includes Evgenis changes as well as a change to run "udevadm trigger --action=change" after installation. This is to ensure that udev rule is applied.

You should subscribe the sponsors team per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess

This is in fact a merge, and the latest debdiff is not complete, due to the update being a merge. The previous changelog entries from Ubuntu are not present, and one of the changes itself at least, is not present either. Please see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Merging for a starting point on what a merge is, and how you do one. There are likely other useful documents on the wiki about merging, but I don't have the URLs to hand at the moment.

Agree with the missing changelog entries. Regarding one of the Ubuntu chages, are you referring to "Breaks: udev (<< 136-1)" and "Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7.0.17ubuntu2)"? Is that needed as only newer or same versions are available in Jaunty? If not please let me know which change you are referring to.

Not recieved any comments on above, so have created a new debdiff that includes breaks and build-depends to be on the safe side. Please see attached debdiff and consider including new version in Jaunty.

Shouldn't that be Conflicts: udev (...)?
For anything else: ACK from me.

I don't think so. I just copied the Breaks part from the existing
version in Ubuntu. Looked at bit in the documentation and below quotes
are from the documentation.

"A Conflicts entry should almost never have an "earlier than" version
clause. This would prevent dpkg from upgrading or installing the package
which declared such a conflict until the upgrade or removal of the
conflicted-with package had been completed. Instead, Breaks may be used
(once Breaks is supported by the stable release of Debian). "

Above is from the Conflicts parts. This Breaks have an "earlier than" part.

"Normally a Breaks entry will have an "earlier than" version clause;
such a Breaks is introduced in the version of an (implicit or explicit)
dependency which violates an assumption or reveals a bug in earlier
versions of the broken package. This use of Breaks will inform
higher-level package management tools that broken package must be
upgraded before the new one. "

And above is from the Breaks part of the debian-policy documentation.

Any chance to get this sponsored before Jaunty release?

Please sync latest version from debian unstable, version 20090401-1.

Yes, please sync this version, the current version is fairly old and doesn't work with newer thinkpads.
And everybody likes to have hdaps working with the new kernel!

The latest version in Debian only needs the drop of "Recommends: tp-smapi-modules" (#258342) to fit perfectly into Ubuntu. The udev/debhelper dance isn't needed, as we don't ship the udev rule anymore.

Please sync ASAP.
Without the sync, Karmic users won't have working HDAPS at all.

Attached is a debdiff for a merge as requested by ajmitch and directhex on IRC.

This bug was fixed in the package hdapsd - 1:20090401-1ubuntu1
