Source: torque
Severity: serious
Justification: end-of-life branch from upstream, low maintenance in Debian
Hi
I discussed this with Moritz Muehlenhoff, but bringing this now up to
discussion. Note that [email protected] and the openmpi and
pbs-drmaa maintainers are X-Debbugs-CC'ed on this bugreport.
torque in Debian is from an old (upstream end-of-life'd) branch 2.4
which had for the last security uploads also for unstable NMUs from
me. torque from time to time has announcements fo security issues,
which get fixed in the newer branches, but patches are not anymore
released for the 2.4 release. The issues ranged from denial-of-service
up to privilege escalations.
https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/t/torque/changelog-2.4.16%2Bdfsg-1.5
There are some reverse dependecy problems avoiding though that torque
can be removed:
pbs-drmaa as reverse dependency of torque is easy as it is a leaf
package. The more complicated one would be openmpi which would need to
drop the build dependency on libtorque2-dev. The reason for this
dependency was in https://bugs.debian.org/592887 , which needs to be
dropped again.
We basically think, torque in this version should not be released in
Jessie as we would need to support it security-wise in the same way
for the next release cycle otherwise.
Regards,
Salvatore
