.PP

2007-12-04 06:42:32 +00:00
|
|
|
\fBrequestsync\fR looks at the versions of <source package> in Debian and
|
|
|
|
|
Ubuntu and prompts for an explanation of why the Ubuntu changes (if there
|
|
|
|
|
are any) should be dropped.
|
|
|
|
|
The changelog entry is then downloaded from packages.debian.org, followed by
|
|
|
|
|
a prompt for your GPG passphrase so that it can sign the mail and send it
|
|
|
|
|
off, to file a sync request in the form of a bug report in Launchpad.
