[Bug 596942] Re: Please merge network-manager-vpnc 0.8-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

[Mathieu Trudel]

Angel, Daniel,

AFAIK, the Ubuntu version of network-manager doesn't usually follow
Debian, so I'm not sure it should be merged. I know in some cases
Michael Biebl (the Debian maintainer for NM and the plugins) used code
from the Ubuntu branches directly for upload to debian, at least, that
was the case for ConnMan..

That said, I can see a number of fixes and changes that might be very
good to include in the uploads I'm hoping to do very soon for NM and its
VPN plugins. These uploads will bring NM and all back to following
pretty closely the upstream git tree.

I think this bug should probably be marked invalid, unless (further
discussion?) it is decided that we should follow Debian?

Angel, I would suggest you look into the network-manager team branches
(https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~network-manager/network-manager/), to
see how you can contribute some of the changes in your debdiffs into the
branches. You can ping me, or hang around in #nm on IRC, or email the
team if you need help. I'll be more than happy to answer your questions.
:)
