BTW, there was a comment earlier saying that 3.6.5 only fixes security issues - that's a misunderstanding, I believe. This was a regular PCP minor release, and included those security fixes (just happened to be the next bug-fix point release). I did backport the fixes to squeeze, although I can't offer to do that again (its time consuming, and I don't have spare time atm). Others might prefer that approach, and could take on a similar backport. I wouldn't recommend that approach however, as alot of testing is required (& has been done on 3.6.5). > The shlibs information for libpcp-pmda3 needs to be updated for the > new pmdaEventNewActiveQueue function. Strictly speaking that is certainly correct, and should be fixed in a future PCP update. However, this NewActiveQueue function is for a special/experimental use-case. From the changelog: - ... - Added an interface to allow PMDAs to register event queues with existing clients (pmdaEventNewActiveQueue). - Initial version of the (experimental) bash tracing PMDA. This "bash tracing PMDA" is the only code using that interface, and it is a new, experimental PMDA (only "optional" to use). So, if you're looking for a maintainer opinion, my preference is to go with 3.6.5 as is. A separate bug should be opened for the new symbol shlibs issue (a patch would be lovely too ;) Thanks for following up on this Moritz, it'd completely fallen off my radar. cheers. -- Nathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
