Please merge usbmount 0.0.18 (universe) from Debian (testing)

Hi there.

Since there is a new version I'll be merging usbmount 0.0.18 into Ubuntu Lucid. Now, if this is important fix to SRU to Ubuntu karmic, could you please provide me with a way to reproduce a data loss?

Thanks a lot :).

This bug was fixed in the package usbmount - 0.0.18ubuntu1

---------------
usbmount (0.0.18ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  * Merge from debian testing (LP: #418296), remaining changes:
    - debian/rules: Copy udev rules so debhelper picks it up
    - debian/install: Do not install by hand
    - debian/preinst: Remove symlink on upgrade, and remove old rules file
      unless modified in which case rename to new filename.
    - debian/postinst: Do not create symlink
    - debian/postrm: No symlink to remove
    - Bump build-depend on debhelper to install udev rules into
      /lib/udev/rules.d, bump dependency on udev to get correct version.

I'm not even sure that usbmount 0.0.17 would work at all with
karmic---I'm using a standard Debian sid system here.

If karmic doesn't offer vol_id, then versions < 0.0.18 are useless and
will not work.

The data loss is described in <http://bugs.debian.org/535238>.

BTW, how do you change a summary/title of a bug? I looked at quite some
widgets in launchpad's interface, but didn't find anything obvious.

BTW #2, if you have upload rights, please consider updating my other
packages (hfsprogs, magicfilter, among other packages to which I made QA
uploads to Debian).

Regards, Rogério Brito.

I would appreciate a patch against my tree so that we can reduce the
divergence and collaborate closer.

BTW, the development happens at
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/usbmount/usbmount/trunk/

Hi Rogério,

Sorry for the delay in responding to you.

Yes, karmic does not have vol_id indeed, that's a very good reason to do a backport of 0.0.18 into karmic. I'll personally work on this within the next 2 weeks.

On the other hand, next to the end of the title, there's a little yellow circle. Clic on it to change the title :).

Now (I do have upload rights to Universe components), If the packages that you've made QA of do not have an Ubuntu Delta, this will be synced automatically into lucid (if they are in Debian Testing of course). If they contain an Ubuntu Delta, I'll try to track them down and make the merges.

Our Delta for usbmount is in how usbmount.rules is installed. I believe that this is a difference between Debian and Ubuntu. I'll attacht the diff for you to take a look a it if you want.

Thanks a lot!
