<duanedesign> persia: whats a cherrypick?
<nigelb> duanedesign: just get the particular patch that fixes the bug into ubuntu :)
<nigelb> if the package uses a patch management system like quilt, it might be easy to figure out the patch
<persia> Right.  This is often important if the Debian upload contains 4-5 different things, we want one of them, and another of them would break a freeze.
<duanedesign> ok i know what a sync is, that is to sync the version in Ubuntu to match upstream. Whats a merge?
<tseliot> persia: do you know why we have gtg_0.2.3.orig.tar.gz and gtg_0.2.3-1.debian.tar.gz for gtg in Lucid? And above all which one am I supposed to modify if I want to fix the code?
<persia> tseliot: Because it's source format 3.0.  Just dpkg-source -x the.dsc as usual.
<persia> duanedesign: A merge is when there are important patches in Ubuntu that we want to preserve, and also changes in Debian we want.  One needs to construct a source package that contains the best of both.
<tseliot> persia: yes, that's what I did. I added my fix too (which involved adding a new directory). Which tarball am I supposed to rebuild?
<persia> duanedesign: Personally, I find cherrypicks and syncs easier : why not start with those (avoiding the packages that have -XubuntuY revisions), and once you've cleared those, start looking at merges.
<lfaraone> Is anybody else having issues with fiordland.canonical.com for requestsync?
<persia> tseliot: You build a source package with `debuild -S` (or similar), which should do the right thing.
<duanedesign> persia: nice. thanks for the tip
