Hi all,
Andrew published well working Lenny packages for 3.8.1 (deb http://debian.etc.gen.nz http://debian.etc.gen.nz lenny rt), also similar packages are available in Debian experimental. As Debian Lenny is the next stable, where can I get packages for the latest RT 3.8.2? anybody working already on this?
We are working on a RT 3.8.x virtual appliance based on Debian Lenny for Proxmox VE (pve.proxmox.com) and we want to make sure that the update process will be straight forward for the users - we have already a working release candidate appliance for 3.8.1 and its very cool!
Best Regards,

Yep - I hope to get packages uploaded to experimental (or possibly
unstable - it won’t be a candidate for lenny anyway due to the new
package name) in the next few days.

The point is that Lenny will be the stable release soon and I see no way to use experimental repos or a mix - so we need Lenny packages.
So as it cannot goes into the official Lenny, we need someone who runs and maintains the rt 3.8.x packages for Lenny.
@Jesse, do you have any comment/ideas here?
We are more or less finished with the virtual appliance, so the only open issue is the repository.
(currently we use official Lenny and http://debian.etc.gen.nz for rt 3.8.1 but I am not sure if this will be maintained in the future).

That’s not quite true. It’s perfectly possible to add additional
resources to the sources.list and use package pinning; in fact with
experimental packages won’t be pulled in by default anyway.
So as it cannot goes into the official Lenny, we need someone who runs and maintains the rt 3.8.x packages for Lenny.
I will maintain packages in backports.org if necessary, but at the
moment the packages in experimental work fine on lenny so there is no
need to explicitly backport them. If that changes in the future I will
ensure that there are working versions on backports.org (bear in mind
that the lenny-backports repository isn’t open yet).
I’ll try and maintain documentation for use of the packages on etch and
lenny at http://pkg-request-tracker.alioth.debian.org/. I’m currently
deploying rt3.8 using the packages in experimental on etch, and will do
so on lenny at some point after the release, so I’m aware of the need to
make sure they’re installable.

Sorry, I didn’t fully read this section. If it’s essential that you have
a repository which is maintained for lenny during its lifetime in the
long-term and suitable for being maintained for an “appliance” where
there is no expert local admin, I would recommend maintaining your own
repository based on the packages from Debian proper, but we can consider
maintaining one on alioth.debian.org if that makes the most sense.

For those who are interested, 3.8.2 packages are now available in Debian
experimental (there are a few more issues to work out before an upload
to unstable, but this packages should be largely working). They should
work on etch (with a few extra packages) and lenny.

Hi Dominic,
Yes, having an own Lenny repository just with the rt 3.8.x packages would be essential for all Lenny users.
If you can setup this on alioth.debian.org this would be wonderful.

I’ll do this once request-tracker3.8 has been uploaded to unstable,
which shouldn’t be long.

I updated my main RT instance with these packages. Works like a charm,
thanks Dominic!

Hi Dominic!
Do you got a rough schedule for this?
BTW, did you get a chance to test the already released RT appliance?

I hesitate to say again, since I previously expected to be able to do an
upload the same week. I’m just testing our current candidate, but
there’s a new bug which requires a new package upload to Debian which
I’ll want to get in before a new upload, so it may not be for another
week or so.

Current status is that this is currently stalled on a new package
waiting in NEW[0] (libipc-run-safehandles-perl)
I would hazard a guess that ftpmasters are busy preparing for the
release of Lenny, so this might not get processed for a few weeks.

Hi Dominic,
Thanks for this, I see the 3.8.2 packages are already in unstable AND testing - but what about the original discussed idea to have an extra repo with rt 3.8.x for Lenny?

It’s not a valid upload candidate for lenny-backports, since the version
in testing/unstable does not require rebuilding to work on lenny.
The normal way of handling these cases would be to add, for example,
testing or unstable APT lines, with appropriate package pinning to
avoid pulling anything except the required packages, or to put packages
in a site-local repository.
The last time this was discussed Martin was keen to provide a repository
with just the request-tracker3.8 package and dependencies not satisfied
in lenny, but I’m still in two minds about whether this is worth the
extra work. I certainly don’t have a use case for it (since we already
have our own private apt repositories for local builds).
Martin, could you think again about whether you are able to get by with the
appropriate package pinning?
