Thanks for your work on crash :)
The process is https://lts-team.pages.debian.net/wiki/Development.html
but we normally only accept security fixes.
How frequent and severe is the segfault you fixed?
I have not looked at the segfault severity but it happens every time a
dump is opened. crash is completely useless in bookworm.
Let me know if this is worth fixing and I'll proceed otherwise I'm
dropping it.
I can reproduce with:
apt install linux-image-6.1.0-53-amd64-dbg
crash /usr/lib/debug/vmlinux-6.1.0-53-amd64
This sounds like something we should fix :)
I can't personally review & sponsor this now but maybe somebody else
from the team will, otherwise possibly in a week. In any case it's
referenced in our work queue:
https://salsa.debian.org/security-tracker-team/security-tracker/-/blob/
master/data/dla-needed.txt
Your initial upload at mentors was overwritten by your second upload
with the unwanted cosmetic changes, so I had to check the latter.
I see that you add a total of 11 patches, including segfaults fixes but
also support for maple trees and a Git-related change. This sounds a lot
for just fixing a segfault. Are all of those necessary for the fix?
For this upload, I would recommend to create a 'debian/bookworm' branch
at https://salsa.debian.org/debian/crash/ , branched at 8.0.2-1, add the
fix there and run the Salsa CI pipeline on it. This should allow easier
review and automated testing.
Here's our doc for this:
https://lts-team.pages.debian.net/git-workflow-lts.html#setting-up-ci
Please also check
https://lts-team.pages.debian.net/wiki/Development.html for the
specifics of a bookworm-lts upload, including targeting 'bookworm-security'.
