ACK, thanks for the suggestion. I could also check the files that were in use and compare to the stuff on snapshot.d.o for the dates in question. It would be very hard to rebuild the sarge images now after such a long time, and I've not got much confidence we could make them work... -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.st...@einval.com "Since phone messaging became popular, the young generation has lost the ability to read or write anything that is longer than one hundred and sixty characters." -- Ignatios Souvatzis

For what it's worth, syslinux-2.04 source is available here: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/2.xx/ This is a list files shown for version 2.04: syslinux-2.04.lsm 20-Oct-2011 19:13 3.0K syslinux-2.04.lsm.sign 20-Oct-2011 19:13 836 syslinux-2.04.tar.bz2 20-Oct-2011 19:08 309K syslinux-2.04.tar.gz20-Oct-2011 19:08 379K syslinux-2.04.tar.sign 20-Oct-2011 19:08 836 syslinux-2.04.tar.xz20-Oct-2011 19:08 257K syslinux-2.04.zip 20-Oct-2011 19:13 462K syslinux-2.04.zip.sign 20-Oct-2011 19:13 836 Hopefully there's a way of verifying that this is the correct source for what was shipped with the Sarge images. GPL license compliance requires that users be able to get the source for the binary upon request -- so I believe what's required to handle this bug is verification and documentation. I'd like to think that can be done with some kind of errata file placed /next to/ the Sarge images in the archive rather than having to rebuild the Sarge images themselves. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle chris.kna...@coredump.us

reopen 497471 thanks first, please do cc bug submitters if you care for an answer, the bts does not notify submitters when you write to a bug. second, reopening the bug: it doesn't matter if debian supports sarge or not; the images with missing sources are still distributed from cdimage.debian.org. and finally, i'm afraid i do not have any copy of 2.04 of syslinux. -- Address:Daniel Baumann, Donnerbuehlweg 3, CH-3012 Bern Email: daniel.baum...@progress-technologies.net Internet: http://people.progress-technologies.net/~daniel.baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Looking further into this, the missing source package appears to be syslinux 2.04-1 Unfortunately this doesn't appear in: http://snapshot.debian.org/package/syslinux/ Daniel, do you have any ideas where else we might find the missing source package?

Bug#497471: sarge images have syslinux binaries without source
Package: cdimage.debian.org Severity: serious Hi, debian-cd does embededd a copy of the syslinux binary (see #497270). because the embedded copy wasn't synced with the archive at the time when sarge was released, sarge images are shipping a binary without having a source (in the dedicated source images). sarge is using syslinux 2.04, a version which is not even available anymore on ftp.debian.org. syslinux is licensed under GPL-2+, which means you either need to ship both binaries and sources at the same time, or with the note on how to get the source etc. pp. please uploade the debian sources of syslinux 2.04-1 (e.g. from morgue on merkel).
