Description Christian Hilberg 2012-08-06 13:27:18 UTC
'ftpadmin install evolution-kolab-3.5.5.tar.xz' stated a NEWS diff of 4 lines today, and that is what actually got sent to ftp-re-ease-list. See [0] for the resulting diff and [1] for the actual diff.

There has been a 3.5.4.1 release of evolution-kolab, which fixed a build issue after the release of 3.5.4. That release was done on a separate gnome-3.5.4 branch. This is where the confusion of the ftpadmin script may result from.

For the current 3.5.5 release, the "previous version" with respect to the NEWS diff should have been 3.5.4, but it seems such cannot be specified when invoking the script.

Comment 1 Andrea Veri 2013-11-21 14:56:58 UTC
The GNOME Infrastructure Team is currently migrating its bug / issue tracker away from Bugzilla to Request Tracker and therefore all the currently open bugs have been closed and marked as OBSOLETE.

The following move will also act as a cleanup for very old and ancient tickets that were still living on Bugzilla. If your issue still hasn't been fixed as of today please report it again on the relevant RT queue.

More details about the available queues you can report the bug against can be found at https://wiki.gnome.org/Sysadmin/RequestTracker.

Thanks for your patience,

the GNOME Infrastructure Team
