Preparation of Debian GNU/Linux 2.2r3 =====================================
Up-to-date version on http://master.debian.org/~joey/2.2r3/ I'm currently preparing 2.2r3 and will send reports so people can actually comment on it. I'm not responsible for that release, responsibility still lays at Anthony Towns who has to give the final approve for each package. I, however, can and will try to make his work as easy as possible in the hope to get the next release out real soon now. Please don't hesitate to send your comments since I don't have much time left to process them. I won't be able to process them if they sent later than monday. Please *ONLY* use [EMAIL PROTECTED] as address to send your comments. I'll redirect that address to somebody else who will handle the mails monday evening. Thanks for your attention. My requirements for packages to go into stable: 1. The package fixes a security problem. Quite helpful would be an advisory issued by the Security Team already. 2. The package fixes a critical bug which can lead into data loss, data corruption or an overly broken system. 3. The stable version of the package is not installable at all due to broken or unmet dependencies or broken installation scripts 4. The package gets all architectures in stable in sync. 5. All released architectures have to be in sync. Packages that I probably reject: . Package that fixes non-critical bugs . Misplaced uploads, i.e. packages that were uploaded to 'stable unstable' . Packages that are out of sync Accepted packages ----------------- These packages should make it into stable. acroread updates 4.05-3 i386 Anthony Fok says: Since multiple users have filed bugs against the NLS problem, it is safe to assume that this problem affects a significant minority of all users,. (PDF files often undisplayable or unprintable without the fix unless they manually set LANG=C or something like that...) So 4.05-3 does indeed: fix an "important" bug that inconvenience quite a few users; or for newbie users, they don't even know how to fix it with LANG=C... Changelog says: * Added a line in /usr/lib/mime/packages/acroread to force Netscape use the Acroread PDF plugin. Thanks to Thibaut Cousin for reporting the bug and and to fellow Debian developer Ryan Murray for providing the fix. Closes: Bug#79333 * Acroread has some NLS issues that broke viewing and printing for international users when the decimal separator is not a dot. A patch is applied to the acroread wrapper script to set LC_NUMERIC. Thanks to Mirek, Serge Gavrilov, Sebastien Cabot for their bug reports, and special thanks to Florian Siegesmund for providing a patch ported from the netscape wrapper script written by H. Peter Anvin et al. Closes: Bug#66586, #66593, #76840, #86473. * Moved /usr/X11R6/bin/acroread back to /usr/bin/acroread. :-) * Added menu hints="PDF". Thanks, Arthur Korn! Closes: Bug#82321. * Acroread 4.05 does support type-in fields for fill-in forms.

I made a diff between the version from stable and proposed-updates. It's 9308 lines large (271kB). * To the release manager: -11 includes a security fix to the tempfile module, which was vulnerable to a symlink attack. Apart from that, it contains an important fix for a long outstanding obscure bug in the signal handling code, and a few small modifications to fix some other bugs. This revision is a recompile of the unstable package for potato (one minor modification to mpzmodule was necessary to compile). I would think this revision should be included in the next point release of potato.

Additionally it may contain some code that would require new boot floopies to work. I'm not convinced this would be good and should be triggered. Alpha is missing Maintainer: Yann Dirson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> elvis-tiny stable 1.4-10 arm, m68k, powerpc, sparc elvis-tiny stable 1.4-11 alpha, i386 elvis-tiny updates 1.4-11 m68k, powerpc, sparc elvis-tiny updates 1.4-12 arm Versions completely out of sync. I would be convinced to let 1.4-11 go into stable to get architectures in sync again. However, since -12 was uploaded for arm, they are out of sync again. I'm not convinced the changes in -12 justify inclusion into stable. Changelog for 1.4-11: * The patch by Topi Miettinen to fix critical bug #74976 broke file recovery, but also the :w command. Re-engineered the patch so that the bug is fixed without any side-effects (closes: #77918) * Add explanation by the author to clear up copyright notice (closes: #72021) Changelog for 1.4-12: * Patch by David Douthitt to fix subsitition bug (closes: #73059) * Patch by David Douthitt to fix range bug (closes: #55407) * Move elvis-tiny to /bin (closes: #37571) * Install wrapper in /bin/vi that execs /usr/bin/vi if it is present and /bin/elvis-tiny otherwise (closes: #72889) * Install alternative for 'editor' (closes: #85318) Arm compilation ready for upload on auric Maintainer: Miquel van Smoorenburg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> freetype-tools updates 1.4-0potato2 arm, i386, powerpc, sparc freetype2-dev updates 1.4-0potato2 arm, i386, powerpc, sparc freetype2 updates 1.4-0potato2 arm, i386, powerpc, sparc Changelog says: New upstream release, the final version of the FreeType 1 series.

I'm not quite convinced we should update a compiler in stable w/o proper need. Syncing versions would be good, but this would introduce an untested compiler package. hztty updates 2.0-3potato4 arm, i386, m68k, sparc New package for stable Changelog says: * Compilation problem on Alpha architecture is now fixed! Special thanks to fellow Debian developer Paul Slootman who sent me the patch! Closes: Bug#55251. * An hopeful upload for Debian 2.2r3; hztty didn't get into Debian 2.2 because of Bug#55251. Now that Paul has fixed this "Can't build from source" bug, I hope hztty could get into future Debian 2.2 releases if there is enough room on the CD-ROMs. :-) Alpha and powerpc missing Maintainer: Anthony Fok <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ibcs-base stable 981105-1 i386 ibcs-base updates 981105-1 sparc Get versions in sync --- kernel-image-2.2.18-alpha_2.2.18-1_alpha.changes --- kernel-image-2.2.18-i386_2.2.18-1_i386.changes --- kernel-image-2.2.19pre11-i386_2.2.19pre11-1_i386.changes --- kernel-image-2.2.19pre13-alpha_2.2.19pre13-1_alpha.changes --- kernel-image-sparc-2.2_4_sparc.changes --- kernel-patch-2.2.18-ide_20001209-1_i386.changes --- kernel-patch-2.2.19pre11-ide_20001221-1_i386.changes --- kernel-source-2.2.18_2.2.18-1_i386.changes --- kernel-source-2.2.19pre11_2.2.19pre11-1_i386.changes --- kernel-source-2.2.19pre13_2.2.19pre13-1_i386.changes I'm not yet convinced these packages should go into stable. The only version that justify an upload to stable is kernel-image-2.2.19pre13-alpha_2.2.19pre13-1_alpha.changes since it contains a security bugfix. However nothing is in sync. koules updates 1.4-1.3 sparc Security update, changelog says: * Non-maintainer release by security team * Fix trivial buffer overflow in init() code * Change Iconfig to not enable the asm stuff since the modern gcc doesn't accept it However: 1. There is no source 2. No other arch is mentioned 3. On Wed, 22 Nov 2000 22:06:53 +0100, an advisory was issued telling people that Debian is not vulnerable to the koules problem. latex2rtf stable 1.1-6 arm, m68k, powerpc latex2rtf stable 1.8aa-2 alpha, i386, sparc latex2rtf updates 1.8aa-4 alpha, i386, sparc Changelog does not convince me to push it into stable: * Upload to stable to overcome the "can't build from source" bug that breaks autobuild on some architectures. * Add build dependency on debhelper.

If there would be libpaper *and* libpaperg version 1.0.3-13.potato1 for sparc, I'd be convinced to accept the package.

Changelog says * New maintainer. * The following patches are needed to get mtools running on ARM: - updated config.guess and config.sub - configure.in: recognize *-*-linux-gnu - configure.in: add "-mstructure-size-boundary=8" to the CFLAGS on ARM (closes: #79180) Alpha is also missing Explanation from Adrian Bunk: It was meant to go in potato: All the patches (except the changed maintainer address) are ARM-specific or save (I don't expect bugs with "updated config.guess and config.sub") and shouldn't affect other platforms. Currently, any call to one of the programs on ARM gives the error message: Mtools has not been correctly compiled Recompile it using a more recent compiler (Joey) If Netwinders would have a floppy drive I would be convinced. realplayer updates 8.0.1 i386 I'm not convinced this package should go into stable. Changelog says: * I'm adopting this package (no wnpp was filed). * taggart's patch (Closes: #60426, #83038, #83227 #85823) * Changed dependencies for XF4 (Closes: #82988) * New version for potato (Closes: #74741, #81566) * Also (Closes: #74326, #64456, #76487, #79638, #46401) * Why not.. added menu hint (Closes: #82332) * Removed dh_suidregister Maintainer: Brian Russo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> setiathome stable 3.0-3 m68k, powerpc setiathome stable 3.0-5 arm setiathome stable 3.0-7 alpha, i386, sparc setiathome updates 3.0-8 powerpc setiathome updates 3.03-2 alpha, i386 1st I'm not convinced why a new version should go into stable. 2nd Versions are totally out of sync.
