Ubuntu Discuss: Re: Preparing renewed microrelease exception for MariaDB

Wednesday, 9 July 2025

Hi all,

However, I don't know how to do step 2 "Submit it to the SRU team for
approval via a PR to this repository."

Where do I file a "PR" for https://git.launchpad.net/sru-docs/? That
is the mapping to Launchpad? Page https://launchpad.net/~sru-docs does
not exist and search does not find. I can't find any examples of
approved/merged PRs either. All the examples on the page are just
mailing list messages (e.g.
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-release/2024-January/005915.html).
