HurgotronHmm. I just reported a bug with reportbug, and it was sent to submit@bugs.devuan.org. It's about a Debian package though. Are the Debian maintainers going to get the info somehow?19:40
rwpHurgotron, Did you get an email reply back with a bug number?  It should have sent one.19:46
Hurgotronno, not yet at least.19:51
Hurgotronrwp: ok, local mail problem, mail.dyne.org is hosted at OVH which is on my spammer list :P  The bug report is there (web interface)19:55
rwpHurgotron, You didn't say which package or bug number but mostly the bugs I have filed the Devuan maintainers requested that I file the bug upstream in Debian if it was strictly a Debian bug.20:28
rwpWhat's the bug number?  I am curious enough to look.20:28
Hurgotronrwp: https://bugs.devuan.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=66620:28
Hurgotronbug number of the beast20:29
rwpYour are so lucky!  That would be such a fun bug number to have assigned. :-)20:29
Hurgotronrwp: I'm not very often reporting bugs so I used reportbug. And i was not sure where it would be sent... after appl, most of the packages are identical to  Debian ones20:30
rwpHurgotron, You did the right thing using reportbug.  That's what it is there for.20:31
rwpI know that Debian has a technical committee ruling but in practice it is not implemented.20:33
rwpI would feel uncomfortable reporting directly to Debian for a bug I had found in Devuan but not reproduced in Debian.20:33
rwpHurgotron, Anyway...  Useful background. List of packages forked from Debian that are now custom in Devuan or blocked in Devuan. https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/bannedpackages.txt20:34
rwpI notice that x2go thin client package is listed in the forked list.  But that is a different package.  Just noting it is in the area.20:34
Hurgotrongot it, thanks20:35
Hurgotronrwp: Upstream said it seems to be a packaging issue with Debian, so I'm believing that. See the link I gave20:36
rwpYes.  I saw that.  And I commend you for the excellent debugging and background work on that bug.  It was very good.20:36
rwpI think upstream is correct and that it will need to be reported to Debian as it is there packaging.20:37
Hurgotronrwp: should I wait for reaction on Devuan side, or just do it?20:37
rwps/there/their/  I hate it when I do that. :-(20:38
rwpHurgotron, First, I don't know the best answer.  I just muddle through as best as I can too.  But if you are good to report it to Debian then I would report it directly there.  Then update the Devuan ticket with a reference to the Debian bug number.20:39
Hurgotronok, thanks :)20:39
