Description of problem: FYI, doing some debian packaging stuff, I've update debhelper locally, my SRPM is here [1]. Happy to help maintaining debhelper if desired. [1] http://smani.fedorapeople.org/debhelper-9.20131227-1.fc21.src.rpm
Hi, I review this package but I don't have commit permissions for this package. debhelper-9.20131227 is already used in testing of Debian [¹] . So I agree in update this package at least for F21 . Oron, if you are very busy please accept me has committer in https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/debhelper [¹] http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=debhelper
regarding comment #1 * Sergio, you are approved as committer to debhelper. (sorry for delaying this for so long). * I agree with you that Debian/stable long-release cycle doesn't match Fedora's * IMO, it's best to follow Debian/testing with all our deb* packages. - This is because Debian/stable release cycle is very long and doesn't match Fedora release cycle. - I think it's reasonable for both rawhide and current version (F20, F21 in our case). - With previous version (F19) we may choose to be more conservative and stop its updates when it's neer EOL.
So you keep up to date with testing in rawhide an F20, but leave as-is in old-stable (except for security backports and critical bugs)? Just asking, so that I can follow the same practice with my debian related packages.
