sometimes changelog entries miss the author

Asked by Seth Arnold

Hello, launchpad very helpfully shows changelogs for packages to save downloading and unpacking a package just to read the changelog. Sometimes it doesn't print who actually made the changelog, entry.

A recent example is openssl version 3.0.9-1ubuntu1 : the uploader isn't visible on the "all entries" page:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssl/+changelog

And it isn't visible on the page for the specific version:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssl/3.0.9-1ubuntu1

This last page instead shows information for multiple releases, in what feels like it might be a bug.

Thanks

Hi Seth,

Could you please create two separate bug reports?

a) for the missing uploader info ( we have a suspicion this is a result from packages synced from Debian vs packages directly uploaded from Launchpad )

b) for the excess info shown on the page for a single package version

Thank you!
