[Bug 1956004] Re: [BPO] Backport 5.6.0 from Jammy

[Alec Leamas]

Adding the Debian backport checklist

- Current version is two versions behind. As a result, upstream directs all users to the PPA, a packaging which does not meet basic standards. Ergo: backporting is meaningful.
- The package has a substantial user base although this for now means the PPA users.
- Package is available in Debian Bookworm and Jammy.
- Opencpn is a leaf package, no reverse dependencies.
- No other Ubuntu backports exist.
- I also maintain the Debian package and is also fairly active in the upstream project.

Title:
  [BPO] Backport 5.6.0 from Jammy

Status in opencpn package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  The current release is so old that it is unusable. Thus it forces
  users to the PPA at
  https://launchpad.net/~opencpn/+archive/ubuntu/opencpn. While more
  recent, this not properly packaged and reviewed, lacking a source
  package etc.

  [Scope]

  This is about backporting 5.6.0 from Jammy to Focal/20.04

  [Other Info]

  5.6.0 is in Debian Testing. The Bullseye backport is currently in the
  backports new queue.

  Package sources: https://gitlab.com/leamas/opencpn/-/tree/focal-
  backports
