Dear release managers, again I would like to ask for a freez exception, this time for telxive-bin 2009-8. The only change is the following quilt patch added to fix segfaults on mipsel (and probably other archs). This is the grave bug #602566.
The patch was submitted to the bug report and is already included upstream (texlive svn repository rev 20390, changelog entry of upstream TeX Live: 2010-11-10 Mathias Kende <[email protected]> * tex-file.c (kpathsea_set_suffixes_va_list): new fn. (kpse_set_suffixes, kpathsea_set_suffixes): call it. Avoids passing variable argument list, which is not portable. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=602566 The bug is described in the bug report as follows: > The bug seems to come from libkpathsea5 and not from dvi2ps. It exists > on all platforms (at least also on AMD64) but does not trigger a > segfault. It comes from the kpse_set_suffixes function in the > libkpathsea compatibility API which calls the kpathsea_set_suffixes > function and passes to it its variable list of arguments. This operation > is invalid in C.
