[Bug 2130074] [NEW] Merge popularity-contest from Debian Unstable for resolute

 

Public bug reported:

Scheduled-For: ubuntu-25.11
Ubuntu: 1.78ubuntu1
Debian Unstable: 1.79

A new release of popularity-contest is available for merging from Debian
Unstable.

If it turns out this needs a sync rather than a merge, please change the
tagging from ['dcr-merge'] to ['dcr-sync'], and (optionally) update the
title as desired.

If this merge pulls in a new upstream version, also consider adding an
entry to the resolute Release Notes:
https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/resolute-raccoon-release-notes/

### New Debian Changes ###

popularity-contest (1.79) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Bill Allombert]
  * Please note when reading stats that Trixie was released with 1.78.
  * Update example server-side scripts to popcon.d.o version:
    - popanal.py, popanal3.py: bump stable version to 1.78

  [ Kirill Rekhov]
  * popularity-contest.8: fix typo
  * debian/copyright: convert to DEP 5

### Old Ubuntu Delta ###

popularity-contest (1.78ubuntu1) questing; urgency=medium

  * Merge with Debian unstable (LP: #2112059). Remaining changes:
    - d/control: disclose that Ubuntu popcon server is unmaintained
    - d/control: drop Recommends on "default-mta | mail-transport-agent"
    - d/postinst: remove Ubuntu references from SUBMITURLS/MAILTO/debconf
    - d/cron.daily: filter & log Ubuntu popcon references in URL/MAILTO
    - README: remove Ubuntu popcon server URL
    - defaults.conf: disable Debian popcon server via SUBMITURLS/MAILTO
    Dropped changes:
    - d/config: set debconf participate question priority to "medium".
      The delta was needed to prevent the question from being asked at
      Ubuntu install time. This is not needed anymore: popularity-contest
      has been removed from the standard seed in 2020.
    - Fix mixed encoding of umlauts in debian/changelog. Rationale: the
      mixed-encoding was introduced in a past revision of the Ubuntu delta;
      we are simply not carrying that problem over in the merge.
    - Unjustified rewrap in the Croatian debconf translations (d/po/hr.po),
      not accounted for in past d/changelog entries, and likely introduced
      by mistake.
